Tree showing polymorphism in Vtp amino acid sequences among 79 isolates and DNA samples of Borrelia hermsii. Borrelia burgdorferi B31 OspC, the protein used in the transformation, is included. The nine Vtp types are shown on the horizontal branches (1–9 in italics) and the genomic group of the spirochetes is shown in parentheses. Vtp Types 1 and 7 have members of both genomic groups (GG II in box). GenBank accession numbers for 8 sequences not previously deposited are MK076576 - MK076583.
