Optimising Transformation Efficiency in Borrelia: Unravelling the Role of the Restriction-Modification System of Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciBorrelia spp. are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. In Europe, Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the main causative agents of Lyme borreliosis, one of the most prevalent tick-borne diseases in the northern hemisphere. In bacteria such as Borrelia spp., a restriction-modification system (RMS) protects against the harmful ...

Borrelia afzelii-associated seronegative Lyme neuroborreliosis in an immunocompromised patient [PDF]
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious DiseaseThis case highlights the diagnostic complexity of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) in immunosuppressed patients. A 62-year-old man with a history of follicular lymphoma, previously treated with R-Bendamustine and currently rituximab, presented with generalized symptoms and systemic inflammation.

Early cytokine release in response to live Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Spirochetes is largely complement independent. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 AIM: Here we investigated the role of complement activation in phagocytosis and the release of cytokines and chemokines in response to two clinical isolates: Borrelia afzelii K78, which is resistant to complement-mediated lysis, and Borrelia garinii LU59,

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.
