Abstract
Methods and reagents are provided for amplifying and detecting target nucleic acid sequences in a sample suspected of containing Borrelia spirochetes using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process. The PCR process employs primers and probes which are derived from the 16S ribosomal RNA gene of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia hermsii.
