Detection of glycoproteins in Borrelia burgdorferi
Archives of Microbiology, 1992The presence of carbohydrates on proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, was investigated by using a digoxigenin labeling method together with Schiff staining and N-glycosidase F assay. The two major outer surface exposed proteins of 31 kDa and 34 kDa showed to be glycosylated and gel filtration high pressure liquid ...

Seroprevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi in Romania
European Journal of Epidemiology, 2001In order to assess the seroprevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi in Romania and to define associated risk factors, a cross-sectional, observational study was performed in 13 districts during 1999. Sera from healthy blood donors (1,598) and from forestry workers (1,048) were tested. A two-step testing strategy was used in which sera were tested for anti-B.

The recA gene of Borrelia burgdorferi
Gene, 1995The nucleotide sequence of the Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) Sh-2-82 recA gene has been determined using PCR-based approaches without the construction of a genomic library. The gene should encode a protein of 365 amino acids which is highly homologous to other known RecA proteins.

Linear chromosome of Borrelia burgdorferi
Research in Microbiology, 1989The DNA organization of several European and American isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi, the aetiological agent of Lyme disease, was analysed in pulse-field agarose gel electrophoresis. The results of in situ cell lysis in agarose plugs demonstrated a unique arrangement for the DNA of this spirochete.

Borrelia burgdorferi–Traveling incognito?
Microbes and Infection, 2006We outline in this review how Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, moves from the tick to the vertebrate host, and what molecules are potentially involved in this challenging commute. The survival strategies utilized by the spirochete during transmission and the initial stages of infection are discussed.

The bacterium B. burgdorferi ranks among the family of spirochetes and causes LB, a disease with various symptoms passed on by ticks. It was Willy Burgdorfer who found the disease causing bacterium in 1981 and it has been in the focus of research since. Until now the usual treatment strategy has been the use of antibiotics.

Heterogeneity of Borrelia burgdorferi in the Skin
The American Journal of Dermatopathology, 1996The reliability of various in vitro techniques to identify Borrelia burgdorferi infection is still unsatisfactory. Using a high-power resolution videomicroscope and staining with the borrelia genus-specific monoclonal flagellar antibody H9724, we identified borrelial structures in skin biopsies of erythema chronicum migrans (from which borrelia later ...

Borrelia burgdorferi and Localized Scleroderma
Archives of Dermatology, 1989To the Editor.— Aberer et al, 1 in Austria, have suggested that morphea might be related to Borrelia burgdorferi infection. These authors found antibodies to B burgdorferi in five of ten patients with morphea in one study and eight of 15 patients in another study, which used the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Sarcoidosis and ELISA for Borrelia burgdorferi
Southern Medical Journal, 1994Lyme disease can be confirmed by detection of IgM and IgG antibodies against the causative pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be confirmatory within weeks of symptom onset. Sarcoidosis has not previously been reported as one of the disease processes associated with a false-positive ELISA for Lyme disease.

Nonprotein Antigens of Borrelia burgdorferi
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1993Preparative thin-layer chromatograms of chloroform-methanol extracts of Borrelia burgdorferi (B31) sonicates showed four fractions (Rf values of 0.84, 0.81, 0.66 and 0.61) that stained with iodine vapors, orcinol, or phospray, suggesting the presence of lipid-, carbohydrate-, and phosphorus-containing compounds.
