Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an oligonucleotide agent suited to use in evidencing at least one strain of Borrelia burgdorferi. Proposed are sequences common to all the groups of Borrelia burgdorferi strains, suited to use either as primers during genetic amplification reactions, or as capture probes in a hybridization test on a solid support on which the target DNA is 'sandwiched' between the said capture probe and a disclosure probe, or else as disclosure probes in the said hybridization test on a solid support. Also proposed are sequences specific to each of the groups of Bb strains, suited to use as primers during genetic amplification reactions or as disclosure or capture probes in the hybridization test on the solid support mentioned above.
