Characterization of Borrelia garinii isolated from Lyme disease patients in Hokkaido, Japan, by sequence analysis of OspA and OspB genes

17 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

The outer surface proteins OspA and OspB genes of clinical Borrelia garinii isolates (JEM1-8) from Hokkaido, Japan were sequenced. One strain, JEM4, has a single ospA gene which is similar to European B. garinii strains PBr (sequence homology value: 94.1%) and T25 (91.2%). Five of the other seven strains exhibit a homologous C-terminus (300 bp) on both ospA and ospB genes (88.7-97.3%). The other two strains seem...
