Establishment of a digital PCR method for detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex DNA in cerebrospinal fluid

Abstract Direct detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato bacteria in patient samples for diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is hampered by low diagnostic sensitivity, due to few bacteria in cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) samples. Evaluation of novel molecular methods, including digital PCR (dP...
