Borrelia miyamotoi sensu lato Seroreactivity and Seroprevalence in the Northeastern United States
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 Borrelia miyamotoi sensu lato, a relapsing fever Borrelia sp., is transmitted by the same ticks that transmit B. burgdorferi (the Lyme disease pathogen) and occurs in all Lyme disease–endemic areas of the United States. To determine the seroprevalence of

Hyperglycemia Impairs Neutrophil-Mediated Bacterial Clearance in Mice Infected with the Lyme Disease Pathogen. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Insulin-insufficient type 1 diabetes is associated with attenuated bactericidal function of neutrophils, which are key mediators of innate immune responses to microbes as well as pathological inflammatory processes.

Borrelia burgdorferi Manipulates Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Establish Persistence in Rodent Reservoir Hosts. [PDF]
, 2017 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex is capable of establishing persistent infections in a wide variety of species, particularly rodents. Infection is asymptomatic or mild in most reservoir host species, indicating successful co-evolution of ...

Identification of Borrelia burgdorferi and B. hermsii using DNA hybridization probes [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989 Fragments of plasmid DNA from Borrelia burgdorferi and B. hermsii were cloned and tested for specificity as hybridization probes to identify these two species of pathogenic spirochetes. Three fragments from the 49-kilobase-pair linear plasmid of B.

An optimized SYBR Green I/PI assay for rapid viability assessment and antibiotic susceptibility testing for Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi is the most common tick-borne disease in the US and Europe. Unlike most bacteria, measurements of growth and viability of B. burgdorferi are challenging. The current B.

Ability to cause erythema migrans differs between Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The variety of characteristic and non-specific clinical manifestations is partially explained by its genetic diversity.

Borrelia burgdorferi enolase is a surface-exposed plasminogen binding protein.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Borrelia burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease, the most commonly reported arthropod-borne disease in the United States. B. burgdorferi is a highly invasive bacterium, yet lacks extracellular protease activity.

Human neuroglial cells internalize Borrelia burgdorferi by coiling phagocytosis mediated by Daam1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme borreliosis, can elude hosts' innate and adaptive immunity as part of the course of infection. The ability of B. burgdorferi to invade or be internalized by host cells in vitro has been proposed as a mechanism for ...
