Serologic Status of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Patients with Cardiovascular Changes. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2023
Cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary heart disease (CHD) caused by atherosclerosis, have the highest worldwide incidence and mortality rate of any type of disease. Aside from risk factors associated with lifestyle and comorbidities, infectious agents such as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes, which cause Lyme disease, may also play ...

Distribution of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in China [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010
ABSTRACT We genotyped 102 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato strains isolated from ticks, animals, and patients in 11 provinces in China by PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) amplification of 5S ( rrf )-23S ( rrl ) rRNA gene spacer amplicons

Biofilm formation byBorrelia burgdorferisensu lato [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2015
Bacterial biofilms are microbial communities held together by an extracellular polymeric substance matrix predominantly composed of polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids. We had previously shown that Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative organism of Lyme disease in the United States is capable of forming biofilms in vitro.

Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato widespread in urban areas of the Czech Republic. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors
Abstract Background Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) are important zoonotic agents transmitted by Ixodes ricinus ticks, which are widely distributed across Central Europe. Understanding the spatial distribution of these pathogens’ prevalence will help identify areas with increased infection ...

Strain diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Serbia [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
The geographic distribution of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species in Europe shows very dynamic spatial and temporal variations. Since different Borrelia species usually correlate with different clinical manifestation of Lyme borreliosis, knowledge of the geographic distribution of the pathogen is very important for understanding the ecology and ...
