Abstract		Several species within the Borrelia burgdorferi complex responsible for Lyme borreliosis have been delineated, namely B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii and B. afzelii. This genetic diversity is also revealed at the phenotypic level. Correlation of each species with different clinical traits has been made. The genome of Borrelia burgdorferi is unusual. In contrast to most bacteria, its chromosomes as well as several plasmids are linear.
