To evaluate multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) for taxonomic purposes in the delineation of species within Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, seven relevant loci of various strains for which extensive DNA–DNA reassociation data were available were sequenced. MLSA delineation proved to be fully concordant with conventional methods. Our analysis confirmed the delineation of a novel species, Borrelia spielmanii sp. nov., previously known as ‘Borrelia spielmani’ Richter et al. 2004, with strain PC-Eq17N5T (=DSM 16813T=CIP 108855T) as the type strain.
Published online ahead of print on 9 December 2005 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.64050-0.
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the fla, groEL, hbb, ospA, recA, rrs and rrf–rrl intergenic spacer gene sequences of Borrelia spielmanii sp. nov. PC-Eq17N5T are DQ133508, DQ133511, DQ133514, DQ133517, DQ133520, DQ133523 and DQ133526, respectively. Accession numbers for other gene sequences obtained in this study are given in Supplementary Table S2 in IJSEM Online.
Tables detailing similarity values for concatenated sequences of species within Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. and GenBank accession numbers for gene sequences derived in this study are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
