Sanger Sequencing of Borrelia burgdorferi flaB Gene Paralogs Can Detect a Single Bacterium for the Diagnosis of Lyme Disease Spirochetemia, Reported Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory
MILFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sin Hang Lee, M.D., director of Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory in Milford, Conn., announces that the Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes invading the blood stream of the patients at the early localized stage of Lyme disease have duplicate flaB gene paralogs in their chromosome. For Sanger sequencing-based diagnosis of Lyme disease spirochetemia, the flaB gene … [Read more…]
