Unlike Borrelia burgdorferi, the relapsing fever agent Borrelia hermsii and the related Borrelia miyamotoi had purA and purB genes of the purine salvage pathway. These were located among the rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these genes had a different evolutionary history than those of orthologs in other spirochetes.
与伯氏疏螺旋体不同,回归热病原体赫氏疏螺旋体及相关的 Miyamoto 疏螺旋体具有嘌呤补救途径的 purA 和 purB 基因。这些基因位于 rRNA 基因之间。系统发育分析表明,这些基因的进化历史与其他螺旋体直系同源基因不同。
