  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
    Publication number: 20220325324
    Abstract: The present invention relates to method of detecting and characterizing one or more Borrelia species causing Lyme Disease or tick-borne relapsing fever within a sample from a subject, the method comprising: a) subjecting DNA and/or RNA from the sample to a PCR amplification reaction using primer pairs targeting at least one region of Borrelia 16S rRNA and at least one region of flaB, ospA, ospB, ospC, glpQ, 16S-23S intergenic spacer (IGS1), 5S-23S intergenic spacer (IGS2), bbk32, dbpA, dbpB, and/or p66; and b) analyzing amplification products resulting from the PCR amplification reaction to detect the one or more Borrelia species.
