Comparison of in vitro culture and polymerase chain reaction for detection of Borrelia burgdorferi in tissue from experimentally infected animals.

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed for identification of Borrelia burgdorferi in biological specimens. The diagnostic efficiency was compared with that of in vitro culture. A primer set specifying a 791-bp DNA fragment of the B. burgdorferi B31 flagellin gene was used. Amplified DNA seq...
