*MLST, multilocus sequence typing; RST, ribosomal RNA intergenic sequence type; OspC, outer surface protein C; ST, sequence type. †The 41 isolates from the United States were selected from a larger cohort that were representative of the most common RST/OspC subtypes in the northeastern United States. These isolates included all available OspC type B strains in our collection. ‡New ST.
