title: Rapid identification of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of groEL gene.
abstract: Thirty-one reference strains and 23 Korean isolates of the genus Borrelia were identified through the PCR-RFLP analysis using the groEL gene. This will be useful for the rapid differentiation of B. burgdorferi sensu lato and complements one of the 5S-23S intergenic spacers.
