Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto invasiveness is correlated with OspC–plasminogen affinity

Microbes and Infection, 2006
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, is transmitted through tick bite. Lyme borreliosis evolves in two stages: a primary red skin lesion called erythema migrans; later on, invasive bacteria disseminate to distant sites inducing secondary manifestations (neuropathies, arthritis, carditis, late skin disorders). It has

Growth parameters of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto at various temperatures

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1998
Growth of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (prototype strain B-31) was studied in Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly BSK-H liquid medium, supplemented with 4.5% rabbit serum and antibiotics (phosphomycin, rifampicin), at various temperatures to early stationary growth phase. The number of cells was determined by darkfield microscopy.

Vector competence of Ixodes angustus (Acari: Ixodidae) for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto

Experimental & Applied Acarology, 2000
The vector competence of Ixodes angustus for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) was investigated in the laboratory. The larval progeny of female ticks from Washington State were placed on Swiss-Webster mice that had been inoculated intravenously with 10(8) spirochetes each of a Californian isolate of B. burgdorferi.

Cultivation at 37°C enhances Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto infectivity for hamsters

Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 2002
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.), the causative agent of Lyme disease in North America is transmitted to the mammalian host by ticks belonging to the genus, Ixodes. Antibodies to several spirochetal proteins, most notably outer surface protein C (OspC), have been observed in early infection in both humans and laboratory animals.

Genetic diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto: Novel strains from Mexican wild rodents

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020
Borrelia burgdorferi s.s. is a Gram-negative spirochaete, the aetiological agent of Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern hemisphere. Reports on the presence of B. burgdorferi in central Mexico have been strongly criticized, since these were based only on unspecific serological methods.

Infection rate ofIxodes ricinus ticks withBorrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, andBorrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in Slovenia

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1995
In spring 1993, Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected from six regions of Slovenia to determine their overall rate of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and to assess the frequency of individual species in these tick populations. Ticks were dissected and midgut tissue inoculated into modified Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly (BSK II) medium.

Lectin-binding characteristics of a lyme borreliosis spirocheteBorrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto

Folia Microbiologica, 2005
Borrelial glycoconjugates were localized by labeled lectins on ultrathin cryosections and on surfaces of intact negatively stained bacteria. Protein-saccharide complexes in these glycoconjugates were partially characterized by means of enzyme deglycosylation and mild alkali pretreatment of cryosections.

In vitro susceptibility of European human Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto strains to antimicrobial agents

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2013
Broth microdilution and macrodilution assays were used to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) of six antimicrobial agents (ceftriaxone, cefuroxime sodium, azithromycin, amoxicillin, doxycycline and amikacin) for nine European human isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s ...
