Borrelia recurrentis Characterization and Comparison with Relapsing-Fever, Lyme-Associated, and Other Borrelia spp. [PDF]
, 1998 P(論文)シラミ媒介性回帰熱の起因菌であるBorrelia recurrentisは、これまで培養が不可能であったことからその性状はあまり知られていない。我々はシラミ媒介性回帰熱の患者から18株のボレリアの培養に成功し、これら分離株の性状について検討した。電子顕微鏡像、G+C含量、DNA相同性、鞭毛遺伝子あるいは16SrRNA遺伝子の塩基配列、SDS-PAGE、PFGEによる解析を行い、回帰熱ボレリア、ライム病関連ボレリア、その他ボレリア属に属する種との比較を行った。Borrelia ...

Borreliae Part 2: Borrelia Relapsing Fever Group and Unclassified Borrelia
Biology, 2021 Borreliae of the relapsing fever group (RFG) are heterogenous and can be divided mainly into three groups according to vectors, namely the soft-tick-borne relapsing fever (STBRF) Borreliae, the hard-tick-borne relapsing fever (HTBRF) Borreliae, the louse-

Serodiagnosis of Louse-Borne Relapsing Fever with Glycerophosphodiester Phosphodiesterase (GlpQ) from Borrelia recurrentis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2000 ABSTRACT Human louse-borne relapsing fever occurs in sporadic outbreaks in central and eastern Africa that are characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Isolates of the causative agent, Borrelia recurrentis , were obtained from the blood of four patients during a recent epidemic of the disease ...

Possibilities for Relapsing Fever Reemergence
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 Relapsing fever Borrelia infections have attracted little attention in recent years; however, where endemic, these infections still result in considerable illness and death. Despite the marked antimicrobial drug susceptibility of these organisms, therapy

Louse-borne relapsing fever (Borrelia recurrentis) in an Eritrean refugee arriving in Switzerland, August 2015 [PDF]
Eurosurveillance, 2015 We report an imported case of louse-borne relapsing fever in a young adult Eritrean refugee who presented with fever shortly after arriving in Switzerland. Analysis of blood smears revealed spirochetes identified as Borrelia recurrentis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Structural characterisation of outer membrane proteins from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by small-angle X-ray scattering [PDF]
, 2016 Forming the interface between the bacterial cell and the host, the outer membrane of Borrelia is known to play a key role in pathogenicity. Although Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato are considered to be Gram-negative, their outer membrane is unique ...
