The nucleotide sequences of the groEL genes, the flagellin genes, and the 16S rRNA genes from 22 reference strains of Borrelia were compared. groEL sequence analysis is useful not only in interspecies differentiation but also in intraspecies differentiation of Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii isolates.
