Pathogenicity and virulence of Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]

Virulence, 2023
Infection with Borrelia burgdorferi often triggers pathophysiologic perturbations that are further augmented by the inflammatory responses of the host, resulting in the severe clinical conditions of Lyme disease. While our apprehension of the spatial and temporal integration of the virulence determinants during the enzootic cycle of B.

Hitchhiker's Guide to Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]

J Bacteriol
ABSTRACT Don’t Panic. In the nearly 50 years since the discovery of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi has emerged as an unlikely workhorse of microbiology. Interest in studying host-pathogen interactions fueled significant progress in making the fastidious microbe ...

Borrelia valaisiana resist complement-mediated killing independently of the recruitment of immune regulators and inactivation of complement components [PDF]

, 2013
Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex differ in their resistance to complement-mediated killing, particularly in regard to human serum.

Chemotaxis in Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1998
ABSTRACT Borrelia burgdorferi is a motile spirochete which has been identified as the causative microorganism in Lyme disease. The physiological functions which govern the motility of this organism have not been elucidated. In this study, we found that motility of B.

Genetics ofBorrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Annual Review of Genetics, 2012
The spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies group cycle in nature between tick vectors and vertebrate hosts. The current assemblage of B. burgdorferi sensu lato, of which three species cause Lyme disease in humans, originated from a rapid species radiation that occurred near the origin of the clade.

The Emerging Role of Microbial Biofilm in Lyme Neuroborreliosis [PDF]

, 2018
Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common tick-borne disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi in North America and Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii in Europe and Asia, respectively.

Spirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion. [PDF]

, 2017
Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes.

Hemolytic activity of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1992
Zones of beta-hemolysis occurred around colonies of Borrelia burgdorferi grown on Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly medium containing agarose and horse blood. Blood plates were inoculated with either the infective strain Sh-2-82 or noninfective strain B-31 in an overlay and incubated in a candle jar. Both strains of B. burgdorferi displayed beta-hemolysis after 1

, 2016
Lyme disease is the most common zoonotic bacterial disease in North America. It is estimated that .300,000 cases per annum are reported in USA alone. A total of 10%–20% of patients who have been treated with antibiotic therapy report the recrudescence of

Biology of Infection with Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2008
The spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi is a tick-borne obligate parasite whose normal reservoir is a variety of small mammals. Although infection of these natural hosts does not lead to disease, infection of humans can result in Lyme disease as a consequence of the human immunopathologic response to B burgdorferi.
