Delineation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species by multilocus sequence analysis and confirmation of the delineation of Borrelia spielmanii sp. nov.

Abstract: To evaluate multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) for taxonomic purposes in the delineation of species within Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, seven relevant loci of various strains for which extensive DNA–DNA reassociation data were available were sequenced. MLSA delineation proved to be fully concordant with conventional methods. Our analysis confirmed the delineation of a novel species, Borrelia spielmanii sp. nov., previously known as ‘Borrelia spielmani’ Richter et al. 2004, with strain PC-Eq17N5T (=DSM 168… Show more

“…LB is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) genospecies and can generate various clinical manifestations, varying from a skin rash (erythema migrans) to severe arthritic, dermatologic, neurological, and cardiac manifestations (Stanek et al, 2002). In Europe, 7 different genospecies belonging to B. burgdorferi sl have been reported: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss), B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. valaisiana, B. lusitaniae, B. bissettii and B. spielmanii (Rauter and Hartung, 2005;Richter et al, 2006). Among them 3 genospecies, B. burgdorferi ss, B. garinii, and B. afzelii, are the most frequently reported as pathogenic for humans.…”

“…species complex (Steere et al, 1983;Hengge et al, 2003). The complex is considered to comprise at least 12 different genospecies to date (Masuzawa et al, 2001;Richter et al, 2006;Wang et al, 1999). Among them, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.), Borrelia garinii and Borrelia afzelii are the major aetological agents of human LD (Baranton et al, 1992;Wang et al, 1999).…”
