Borrelia burgdorferi ftsZ Plays a Role in Cell Division

Volume 188, 5, p. 1969–1978, 2006: The primer sequence of AftsZ in Table 1 will result in a DNA product that encodes a missense RNA rather than an antisense ftsZ RNA as stated in the paper. This critical error negates one of the major conclusions of the article, namely that the expressed antisense ftsZ RNA speciﬁcally inhibited levels of ftsZ mRNA and resulted in Borrelia burgdorferi cells with a ﬁlamentous phenotype. We are now exploring whether the induction of this missense ftsZ RNA results in speciﬁc abolition of FtsZ production or whether the ﬁlamentous phenotype is the result of nonspeciﬁc phenomena. We have also discovered that the control panels in Fig. 4A and B and 6A contain incorrect photomicrographs. The correct photomicrographs exist and are available at http://www.nymc.edu/fcabello/RetractionJBact. The conclusions based on the exper- iments are not affected by these errors.
