Comparison of MKP and BSK-H media for the cultivation and isolation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato
Fig 1
Different plasmid profiles of paired strains isolated in MKP (M) and BSK-H (H) media.
MW, molecular weight marker. All isolated strains were identified as B. afzelii Mla1. Plasmid profiles of paired strains differ in the number of plasmids (significant for small plasmids under 48.5 kb) and MW (significant for large plasmids over 48.5 kb). Distinctions are evident in eight patients (ED, VS, ZM, SA, GV, BM, KM, and PM) and very likely in one patient (GB).
