The Molecular Biology of Borrelia
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1989Borrelia burgdorferi, the cause of Lyme disease, has two major outer-membrane proteins, OspA and OspB, which act as surface antigens. A 49-kilobase linear plasmid contains the genes that encode for these surface proteins. Direct examination of denatured plasmid molecules has revealed single-stranded circles with a circumference of approximately 100 ...

Arthritogenicity of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia garinii: Comparison of Infection in Mice
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009Arthritogenicity, as determined by joint swelling and synovial histology, was compared between or within two Borrelia genospecies that cause Lyme arthritis in humans. The spirochete burden in bladder tissue (a site of spirochete persistence) was documented by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and immune responses were analyzed.

DNA homology studies were performed on Borrelia hermsii, B. duttoni, B. crocidurae and the O. coriaceus spirochete. These organisms had a genus level relationship with each other. B. hermsii was 17 to 53% homologous with B. duttoni, B. crocidurae, and the O. coriaceus spirochetes; B. crocidurae was 17-32% related to B. hermsii, B.

Over a 3-y period, Ixodes ricinus ticks were randomly collected to study the prevalence of 4 Borrelia species: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana. While B. burgdorferi s. s., B. afzelii, and B. garinii have been associated with human borreliosis in Norway for several years, B.

Borrelia is one of five genera in the family Spiro-chaetaceae. In the past, the organisms in this genus have been referred to as Spirochaeta, Spirillum, and Treponema, as well as a variety of other names. The currently acceptable nomenclature of Borrelia is derived from the name of A.

Microbiology of Borrelia burgdorferi
Seminars in Neurology, 1997This article reviews the natural history, taxonomy, physical structure, growth requirements, and molecular structure of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the causative agent of Lyme disease. These spirochetal bacteria are maintained in nature through an infectious cycle between wild mammals and ticks.
