Distribution of cp32 Prophages among Lyme Disease-Causing Spirochetes and Natural Diversity of Their Lipoprotein-Encoding erp Loci

Lyme disease spirochetes possess complex genomes, consisting of a main chromosome and 20 or more smaller replicons. Among those small DNAs are the cp32 elements, a family of prophages that replicate as circular episomes. All complete cp32s contain an erp locus, which encodes surface-exposed proteins...
