Fitness Variation of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto Strains in Mice [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT Lyme borreliosis in North America is caused by the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi , a zoonotic bacterium that is able to persistently infect a wide range of vertebrate species. Given the pronounced strain structure of B.

Comparison of Growth of Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto at Five Different Temperatures. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 Lyme borreliosis is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, a fastidious bacterium that replicates slowly and requires special conditions to grow in the laboratory. Borrelia isolation from clinical material is a golden standard for microbiological diagnosis of borrelial infection. Important factors that affect in vitro borrelia growth

Similarities in murine infection and immune response to Borrelia bissettii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. [PDF]
Microbiology (Reading), 2015 In 1982, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) was identified as the aetiological agent of Lyme disease. Since then an increasing number of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) species have been isolated in the United States. To date, many of these species remain understudied despite mounting evidence associating them with human illness.

Stable Transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public Health, 2017 SummaryThe spirochaete (Borrelia burgdorferi) associated with Lyme disease was detected in questing ticks and rodents during a period of 18 years, 1991–2009, at five locations on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The black‐legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) was collected at varied intervals between 1991 and 2009 and examined for B. burgdorferi. The white‐

Acylated Cholesteryl Galactoside as a Novel Immunogenic Motif in Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is the causing agent of Lyme disease, an infectious disease frequently occurring in the United States, Europe, and Northern Asia. Currently, diagnosis of and vaccination strategies against this pathogen are exclusively based on proteinaceous structures.

Comparison of Lyme Disease in the United States and Europe
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 Lyme disease, or Lyme borreliosis, is the most common tickborne disease in the United States and Europe. In both locations, Ixodes species ticks transmit the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato bacteria species responsible for causing the infection.

Correlation of plasmids with infectivity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto type strain B31 [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1996 The correlation of plasmid profiles with infectivity was investigated by using five clones of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto strain B31 (ATCC 35210). Plasmid profiles were determined by pulsed-field and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The 50% infectious dose (ID50) in hamsters was determined.

Bactericidal Activity of Octenidine to Various Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi, Sensu Lato Spirochetes in Vitro and in Vivo [PDF]
Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2017 The aim of our studies was to invent a reliable method for detection of the bactericidal activity of disinfectants against Borrelia burgdorferi in suspension (in vitro) and in cell line cultures (in vivo). In the suspension method, 0.01% octenidine at 20&
