The genotype of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato was detected in 371 out of 1244 ticks. Borrelia determination was based on partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and real-time polymerase chain reactions for identification and quantitation of ospA and recA genes. Different Borrelia spp. were identified; B. garinii in 40% ticks followed by B. afzelii (36.3%), B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (12.9%), B. valaisiana (3.5%), B. lusitaniae (0.8%), B. bissettii (0.5%) and B. miyamotoi-like (0.5%). Cultivation of 30 borrelia strains in BSK-H medium, among them B. valaisiana, B. bissettii-like and B. miyamotoi-like strains was unique in Czechia. Calibrated microfluidic-based quantification showed differences in the concentration of the nucleic acids and molar mass of the outer surface proteins of different Borrelia spp. with standard sensitivity and specificity and was helpful for their identification. The outer surface protein OspA was absent in B. miyamotoi-like and the OspB protein in B. valaisiana, B. lusitaniae and in three subtypes of B. garinii.
