Here, we used multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to evaluate 3 intergenic genes (16S rRNA, ospA, and 5S-23S IGS) in Borrelia isolated from South Korea to analyze the relationships between host, vector, and molecular background. We identified B. afzelii, B. yangtzensis, B. garinii, and B. bavariensis. This study is the first report for the identification of B. yangtzensis using MLST in South Korea.
在此,我们使用多位点序列分型(MLST)来评估从韩国分离出的疏螺旋体中的3个基因间隔区(16S rRNA、ospA和5S-23S IGS),以分析宿主、载体和分子背景之间的关系。我们鉴定出了阿氏疏螺旋体、扬子江疏螺旋体、伽氏疏螺旋体和巴伐利亚疏螺旋体。本研究是韩国首次使用MLST鉴定扬子江疏螺旋体的报告。
