Abstract

Two motility genes (fliH and fliI) of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi were cloned, physically mapped and sequenced, FliH and FliI showed extensive homology to the proteins involved in the export of flagellar components and to virulence factors found in both animal and plant bacterial pathogens. The results suggest that the flagellar apparatus and associated protein export pathway are well conserved in evolution.
