Distribution of Twelve Linear Extrachromosomal DNAs in Natural Isolates of Lyme Disease Spirochetes

2000-05-01

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT We have analyzed a panel of independent North American isolates of the Lyme disease agent spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu stricto), for the presence of linear plasmids with sequence similarities to the 12 linear plasmids present in the B. burgdorferi type strain, isolate B31. The frequency of similarities to probes from each of the 12 B31 plasmids varied from 13 to 100% in the strain panel examine...
