4. Click on every link that has both keywords in it (Borrelia+subspecies name) 

5. Go to the page of the link and see if it is the full article (it should be since I have full access to the database)

6. Scroll down and look for the chart or pictures where it lists every strain used in the study. It will list both the strain and the subspecies (genospecies) the strain is apart of. 
7. In order to identify whether the chart holds strain, look for key words like strain name, or species and isolate, or just isolate. 
8. Copy any data in the column under the key words, if it split up by species then make sure you record them under the specific species. 

7. Go onto my master list of strains and then find the subspecies that the strain you have found is listed under. Scan to see whether you have already collected that strain name. 

8. If you have not yet collected that strain, copy it down under the proper subspecies. 

9. Do this for every paper that includes the subspecies in it's title when you search it. 

10. While going through the papers, if the chart includes a new subspecies that you don't have on your master list, add it to the master list along with any strains that fall under its category.
