Analysis of the organization of multicopy linear- and circular-plasmid-carried open reading frames in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates

Plasmid cp8.3 of Borrelia afzelii IP21 carries several open reading frames (ORFs) and a 184-bp inverted repeat (IR) element. It has been speculated that this plasmid may encode factors involved in virulence or infectivity. In this report, we have characterized the distribution, molecular variability...
