Abstract:
A hybridization assay probe for detecting Lyme disease-associated Borrelia, said probe having a nucleotide base sequence selected from:a first group of nucleotide base sequences consisting of the sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 12 and SEQ ID NO: 13, anda second group of nucleotide base sequences substantially corresponding to the sequences of SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 24, SEQ ID NO: 25 or SEQ ID NO: 26, wherein the nucleotide base sequences of said second group will hybridize to a target nucleic acid sequence present in nucleic acid from Lyme disease-associated Borrelia and not to nucleic acid from Borrelia hermsii under stringent hybridization conditions.
