Large restriction fragment patterns obtained after cleavage of genomic DNAs with Mlul were anyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). To eliminate the contribution of plasmid DNA, only frmments greater than 70 kb were used for the anysis. The results indicated that each of the 4 B. burgdorferi sensu stricto isolates were recognized by a band at 35 kbp, each of the Borrelia garinii isolates by two bands (0 and 80 kbp), and each of the 0 Borrelia afzelii isolates by three bands (460, 30, and 90 kbp). Whereas differences in the PFGE patterns among B. burgdorferi sensu stricto isolates and B. garinii isolates were noted, B. afzelii isolates were l similar. Identification of isolates by PFGE correlates with their belonging to a given species within B. burgdorferi sensu lato. Borrelia burgdorferi was identified in 98 as the agent of Lyme borreliosis () and was recognized as a new species of the genus Borrelia in 984 (6). Three species were recently delineated for B. burgdorferi sensu lato: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia gainii, and Borrelia afzelii (4, 0). This division into three species was based on DNA- DNA hybridizations, rrna gene restriction patterns, and identification by monoclon antibodies, l tools recognized currently by taxonomists (9). The results obtained by different methods of typing isolates such as polymerase chain reaction (, 3), arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (30), multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (0), 6S rrna sequencing (,, 8, 9, 5), fla gene sequencing (, 8), and serotyping (3) are consistent with this new taxonomy. Heterogeneity among isolates has so been observed by anysis of the profiles of linear and circular plasmids (6, 7). Digestion of genomic DNAs with restriction endonucleases followed by convention electrophoresis so showed differences among isolates. However, the thousands of bands obtained are difficult to interpret except when Southern anysis is used following hybridization with diverse probes (7, 7, 8). The latter technique yielded groupings of isolates ong the same lines as described elsewhere (4, 0). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used for constructing the physic map of B. burgdorferi (). This genome is unique, since it contains a 945-kbp linear chromosome as well as linear and circular plasmids which vary in size and number among the isolates (7, 9, 3). In the present article, we anyze sever different isolates by PFGE. The results indicate that a given isolate can be readily identified as belonging to a specific species. * Corresponding author.

The isolates were grown in BSKII medium at 30 C (5). PFGE, digestion of DNA in agarose, and large restriction faments patterns LRFP nomenclature. Previously described procedures were used for the preparation of high-molecularweight genomic DNAs and PFGE (9, ). Separation was achieved with a pulse time ramped from 3 to 40 s for 0 h with a contour-clamped homogeneous electric field-drii apparatus (Bio-Rad laboratories, Richmond, Cif.). Restriction endonucleases MluI (A/CGCGT) and SmaI (CCC/GGG) were purchased from Pharmacia. Genomic DNAs, in low-melting-temperature agarose, were digested with 0 to 40 U of restriction endonuclease for 0 h in 00 PI of the buffer recommended by the supplier. The lambda concatemers used as size markers for Fig. were those used in reference (monomer size, 44.3 kbp) and for Fig. and 3 were those commerciized by Tebu (monomer size, 48.5 kbp). An LRFP is defined as a unique PFGE pattern. We ignored bands lower than 70 kb, since these bands would be the results of uncut or cut plasmids, which could complicate the interpretation (4). The LRFPs obtained were designated ML or SM to identify the restriction endonuclease MluI or SmaI, respectively, with the suffix b, g, or a denoting B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, or B. afzelii, respectively. Different LRFPs of the same species are numbered or, etc. DNA-blot anysis. For blot anysis according to Southern (6), DNA fragments separated by PFGE were submitted to depurination and then transferred to Hybond-N nylon membranes (Amersham Internation, Amersham, England). To prepare the probe, the 35-kbp MluI band from isolate B3 was excised from a low-melting-temperature agarose pulsedfield gel and washed with ml of distilled water for h at room temperature. A reduced volume of 50,ul of the sample was heated at 00 C for 0 min. The tube was placed on ice, and 5 pl was labelled by random priming with digoxigenin- -dutp. The probe thus generated was used in hybridization experiments as described elsewhere (8).

Of the eight restriction endonucleases used for the construction of the physic map of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto isolate (), we chose MluI to compare the different isolates. This enzyme cuts the DNA in sufficient numbers of fragments to low easily interpretable comparisons. Only fragments greater than 70 kb were used to define an LRFP. Fingerprinting with MluI and recognition of the three species. A tot of 46 B. burgdorferi sensu lato isolates were anyzed by MluI digestion of genomic DNA followed by PFGE. The results showed that with MluI, 5 LRFPs were obtained (Table ). The distribution of LRFPs was as follows: 0 LRFPs for B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (4 isolates), 4 LRFPs for B. garinii ( isolates), and LRFP for B. afzelii (0 isolates) (Table ). Specific bands were found for each species. Anysis of the LRFPs obtained lowed the recog-

Two bands at 0 and 80 kbp were specific to B. garinii (Fig., lanes to ), while for B. afzelii, three bands (at 460, 30, and 90 kbp) were characteristic (Fig., lanes 3 and 4; Table ). The specific bands noted above for identification of a species are identified by their size only. The question arises as to whether the bands characteristic of a species are indeed geneticly similar. The 35-kbp MluI band of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto isolate B3 hybridizes to the same 35-kbp band in each of the 4 isolates of that species (Fig. B). A similar experiment showed that the 0-kbp MluI band characteristic of B. garinii is indeed the same for each of the isolates tested (data not shown). The experiments were not performed for B. afzelii because of the unique and unambiguous ML pattern consisting of most of the genome (Table ). Fingerprinting with SmaI. Another rare cutting restriction endonuclease was used to differentiate among isolates showing the same MluI profile. SmaI lowed the differentiation of some isolates from each other. For example, among the B. garinii isolates that were indistinguishable with MluI (Table [LRFP ML]), one isolate (PBr) had a unique LRFP with SmaI that was distinct from those of the other four isolates N34, G5, VS468, and TN) (Fig. 3). On the other hand, isolates T5 and PBr, which had different MluI patterns, shared the same SmaI pattern. Among the 0 B. afzelii isolates which were indistinguishable with MluI, 5 isolates shared the SM pattern, with a characteristic quadruplet (Fig. 3, lane 9) while five isolates had LRFPs which varied from that of SM by one addition or one missing band (LRFPs SMa, SMa3, and SMa4 [Fig. 3, lanes 0 to ]).

For example, seven B. burgdorferi sensu stricto isolates that were isolated from Lxodes pacificus in Cifornia exhibited five different LRFPs (MLb3, -4, -6, -7, and -8). Interestingly, LRFPs MLb3 and MLb8 are common to isolates from the and Europe. Also three B. garinii isolates that were isolated from Lxodes ricinus in exhibited three different LRFPs (MLgl, -, and.._45.5-4). In contrast, a single LRFP (ML) was observed for isolates that were isolated from humans,, and Ixodes persulcatus in,, and (formerly USSR). However, the most striking feature is the monomorphism of the 0 B. afzeldi isolates, regardless of geographic origin or host from which they were isolated (I. ncinus, L pacificus, rodents, foxes, and humans). Recently, PFGE has been used to compare genomic restriction patterns among different bacteri genera. This FIG. 3.
