Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2021 Background. Information on the geographical distribution of different species of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi s.l.) complex is of great epidemiological importance, since different genospecies are associated with certain clinical ...

Evidence for B-lymphocyte mitogen activity in Borrelia burgdorferi-infected mice [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Borrelia burgdorferi produces a mitogen for murine B lymphocytes which can be measured in vitro by polyclonal stimulation of proliferation and immunoglobulin production (R. Schoenfeld, B. Araneo, Y. Ma, L. Yang, and J. J. Weis, Infect. Immun. 60:455-464, 1992). Sonicated B. burgdorferi cells also stimulated IL-6 production by splenocyte cultures.

Optimization of tissue sampling for Borrelia burgdorferi in white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus).
PLoS ONE, 2020 Peromyscus leucopus (the white-footed mouse) is a known reservoir of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Sampling of white-footed mice allows for year-round B.

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.

Azlocillin can be the potential drug candidate against drug-tolerant Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto JLB31. [PDF]
, 2020 Lyme disease is one of most common vector-borne diseases, reporting more than 300,000 cases annually in the United States. Treating Lyme disease during its initial stages with traditional tetracycline antibiotics is effective. However, 10-20% of patients

Genotypic variation and mixtures of Lyme Borrelia in Ixodes ticks from North America and Europe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Lyme disease, caused by various species of Borrelia, is transmitted by Ixodes ticks in North America and Europe. Studies have shown the genotype of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) or the species of B.
