Borrelia garinii+afzelii oppA1 gene [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with non-probe detection

B gar+afz oppA1 Spec Ql NAA+n-prb

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 differentiate B. afzelii and B. garinii from the other two species but cannot differentiate between B. afzelii and B. garinii. Potential specimens include CSF, tissue, and synovial fluid.
