|
| 17. | A later analysis suggested the sequence may have been a different " Borrelia " species.

| 18. | OspA antigens, shedded by live Borrelia bacteria into urine, are a promising technique being studied.
|
| 19. | According to the CDC, Lyme disease is caused by a single type of spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi.
|
| 20. | The genomic variations of " Borrelia burgdorferi " contribute to varying degrees of infection and dissemination.
