Background:  Borrelia are Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Spirochaetaceae. Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, B. afzelii, B. valaisiana, B. lusitaniae and B. spielmanii belong to the B. burgdorferi sensu lato-complex and cause Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis). These species are associated with different genospecies specific symptoms. They are transmissed by ticks, mainly by Ixodes ricinus. Lyme disease is a multisystemic illness, which can affect various organs, especially the nervous system, skin, heart and joints.

Description:  BactoReal® Kit Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato uses real-time PCR for the detection of the ospA gene of Borrelia species belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
