Comparative genome analysis: selection pressure on the Borrelia vls cassettes is essential for infectivity
BACKGROUND: At least three species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) cause tick-borne Lyme disease. Previous work including the genome analysis of B. burgdorferi B31 and B. garinii PBi suggested a highly variable plasmid part. The frequent occurrence of duplicated sequence stretches, the obs...
