The role of Borrelia burgdorferi infection in scleroderma
Rheumatology, 2014 Borrelia burgdorferi , a Gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium transmitted to humans via tick bites, is the etiologic agent of borreliosis (Lyme disease) with diverse clinical manifestations. There are several types of pathological lesions in the course

The crystal structure of the Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase BBE22 resolves a long-standing annotation error. [PDF]
FEBS Open BioThe crystal structure of Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase (PncA/BBE22) reveals the correct full‐length protein initiated from a non‐canonical AUU start codon. The structure validates previous biochemical findings and resolves a long‐standing annotation error, demonstrating that the truncated database sequence is structurally incompatible with the ...

Serological evidence of possible Borrelia afzelii lyme disease in Greece
New Microbes and New Infections, 2022 Suggestions that Lyme disease exists in Greece remain controversial and no study to date has definitively identified the presence of a Borrelia species that infects humans.
