2 Fig. 1 Identification of species of B. burgdorferi sensu lato in skin biopsies of EM and ACA patients. Isolates of Borrelia spp. (positive controls) in lanes 1 to 4, and patient samples in lanes 5 to 26. Lane 1: B. afzelii, strain A39S. Lane 2: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, strain B31. Lane 3: group VS116, strain AR-2. Lane 4: B. garinii, strain AR-1. Lanes 5 to 20: ACA patients. Lanes 21 to 26: EM patients. Lanes 5, 15 and 24: skin biopsies which contain more than one species.
