Optimising Transformation Efficiency in Borrelia: Unravelling the Role of the Restriction-Modification System of Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Borrelia spp. are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. In Europe, Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the main causative agents of Lyme borreliosis, one of the most prevalent tick-borne diseases in the northern hemisphere.

Decorin Binding by DbpA and B of Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Decorin adherence is crucial in the pathogenesis of Lyme borreliosis. Decorin-binding proteins (Dbp) A and B are the adhesins that mediate this interaction. DbpA and B of Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) differ in their amino acid sequence, but little attention has been paid to the potential difference in ...

Whole-Genome Sequences of Two Borrelia afzelii and Two Borrelia garinii Lyme Disease Agent Isolates [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2011
ABSTRACTHuman Lyme disease is commonly caused by several species of spirochetes in theBorreliagenus. In Eurasia these species are largelyBorrelia afzelii,B. garinii,B. burgdorferi, andB. bavariensissp. nov. Whole-genome sequencing is an excellent tool for investigating and understanding the influence of bacterial diversity on the pathogenesis and ...

Conserved lysine residues in decorin binding proteins ofBorrelia gariniiare critical in adhesion to human brain microvascular endothelial cells [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2021
Lyme borreliosis is a tick‐borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes (Lyme borreliae). When the disease affects the central nervous system, it is referred to as neuroborreliosis.

Serological survey of <i>Borrelia</i> infection of dogs in Sapporo, Japan, where <i>Borrelia garinii</i> infection was previously detected

The Journal of veterinary medical science, 2015
A serological survey of Borrelia infection of dogs was performed in Sapporo, Japan, where Borrelia garinii infection in dogs was detected in 2011. A total of 314 serum samples were collected from dogs that visited three animal hospitals in Sapporo from ...

Genomic characterization and antibiotic susceptibility of biofilm-forming <i>Borrelia afzelii</i> and <i>Borrelia garinii</i> from patients with erythema migrans. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol
Background Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the leading causes of Lyme borreliosis (LB) in Europe. Persistent LB forms may involve biofilms, potentially contributing to antibiotic tolerance. Methods Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was conducted on

Molecular Detection and Characterization of Borrelia garinii (Spirochaetales: Borreliaceae) in Ixodes nipponensis (Ixodida: Ixodidae) Parasitizing a Dog in Korea. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2019
The present study aimed to detect and characterize Borrelia spp. in ticks attached to dogs in Korea. Overall, 562 ticks (276 pools) attached to dogs were collected and tested for Borrelia infection by PCR targeting the 5S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer ...
