LaboratoryBorrelia mayonii oppA1 gene [Presence] in Blood by NAA with non-probe detection
Definition
The DNA amplification target is the 283-bp plasminogen-binding protein gene (oppA1), which is present at a frequency of one copy per organism in all four pathogenic species of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genogroup (Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia mayonii). Melting curve analysis is used to identify B. mayonii and differentiate it from the other three species.
