Maintenance of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. diversity in enzootic cycles

, 2016
Lyme borreliosis is the most prevalent vector-borne disease in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. The bacteria that cause it are members of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, a group of spirochaetes which are transmitted by hard ...

Lyme borreliosis testing - comparison of five ELISA tests against Western blot

Bioingeniøren, 2009
Determination of antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi can be of additional value in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the production of antibodies in a defined group of patients. The study analysed antibodies in

Complement Evasion by Borrelia burgdorferi: Serum-Resistant Strains Promote C3b Inactivation

, 2001
The most characteristic features of the Lyme disease pathogens, the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) group, are their ability to invade tissues and to circumvent the immune defenses of the host for extended periods of time ...

Molecular analysis of decorin-binding protein A (DbpA) reveals five major groups among European Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato strains with impact for the development of serological assays and indicates lateral gene transfer of the dbpA gene

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2006
The Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi adhesin DbpA (decorin-binding protein A) is a valuable antigen for serodiagnosis of Lyme borreliosis and a promising candidate for a vaccine. To investigate the heterogeneity of DbpA, we aligned DNA sequences of 83 different dbpA genes (37 from the database, where the majority of sequences belong to B.

Identification and Structural Characterisation of Novel Outer Membrane Proteins in the genus Borrelia

Although considered Gram-negative the outer membrane (OM) of Borrelia is unique, consisting of a variety of glycolipids, a significant number of surface exposed lipoproteins and a smaller number of integral membrane-spanning β-barrels.

Transduction by Phi Bb-1, a Bacteriophage of Borrelia Burgdorferi

, 2001
We previously described a bacteriophage of the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi designated phi BB-1. This phage packages the host complement of the 32-kb circular plasmids (cp32s), a group of homologous molecules found throughout the genus ...
