Detection and quantification of Lyme spirochetes using sensitive and specific molecular beacon probes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Lyme disease, caused by <it>Borrelia burgdorferi</it>, affects a large number of people in both the USA and Europe. The mouse is a natural host for this spirochete and is widely used as a model system to study Lyme pathog...
