RNA-Seq-based analysis of changes in Borrelia burgdorferi gene expression linked to pathogenicity
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Lyme disease is a global public health problem caused by the spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi. Our previous studies found differences in disease severity between B. burgdorferi B31- and B. garinii SZ-infected mice.

Early cytokine release in response to live Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Spirochetes is largely complement independent. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 AIM: Here we investigated the role of complement activation in phagocytosis and the release of cytokines and chemokines in response to two clinical isolates: Borrelia afzelii K78, which is resistant to complement-mediated lysis, and Borrelia garinii LU59,

Isolation and characterization of fibronectin-binding sites of Borrelia garinii N34 [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1995 Adherence of bacteria to host cell membranes is one of the initial steps of microbial pathogenicity. Numerous studies have suggested that fibronectin promotes this interaction in some bacterial species. In this study, we have examined the ability of Borrelia garinii to bind fibronectin.
