That's my story, and I'm sticking to it—an update on B. burgdorferi adhesins [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 Adhesion is the initial event in the establishment of any infection. Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiological agent of Lyme disease, possesses myriad proteins termed adhesins that facilitate contact with its vertebrate hosts. B. burgdorferi adheres to host tissues through interactions with host cells and extracellular matrix, as well as other molecules ...

The urokinase receptor (uPAR) facilitates clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 The causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, has been shown to induce expression of the urokinase receptor (uPAR); however, the role of uPAR in the immune response against Borrelia has never been investigated.
