Fig. 1 — Alignment of flaB sequences. The flaB Texas specimen PCR product sequences obtained by Esteve-Gassent et al. [4] with the corresponding flaB regions of the B. burgdorferi B31 Genome (AE000783 and CP009656), the variant B31 flaB sequence X15661, the B. burgdorferi N40 Genome (CP002228), and B. burgdorferi 297 flaB (AB035616) are shown. The Texas specimen sequences are identical to the B31 sequence except for one nt difference at nt 64 in sample MMWMA69-70 and apparent sequence errors near the ends of other sequences. The location of the cytosine (C) difference reported by Esteve-Gassent et al. [4] is at nt 67 of the X15661 sequence. The GenBank accession numbers for the Esteve-Gassent et al. sequences are as follows (in parentheses): BWTX12-16 (KM875668.1); BW17 (KM875669.1); BWTX24 (KM875670.1); GEWMA9 (KM875671.1); GEWMA12 (KM875672.1); LPWMA14-15 (KM875673.1); MMWMA69-70 (KM875674.1); MMWMA80 (KM875675.1)
