On the basis of a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis of the 16S-23S ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer, clinical isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi can be classified into 3 genotypes designated as RST1, RST2, and RST3. RST1 strains are the most pathogenic, and RST3 strains are the least pathogenic.
