Multilocus sequence typing of clinical Borreliella afzelii strains: population structure and differential ability to disseminate in humans
Abstract Background Lyme borreliosis in humans results in a range of clinical manifestations, thought to be partly due to differences in the pathogenicity of the infecting strain. This study compared European human clinical strains of Borreliella afzelii (previously named Borrelia afzelii) using mul...
