IF-LSCM of spirochetes cultivated at 22°C.
Chicken and rabbit serum generated against rFlaB (A) and rBrpA (B), respectively, were used to determine protein production within a population of spirochetes. Images were overlaid and spirochetes producing BrpA were counted (C).

Impact of Electronic Cigarette Use on the Oral Microbiota: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Aim To examine whether the oral microbiota of e‐cigarette users differs from that of never smokers and current smokers. Materials and Methods PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were searched on 27 August 2025. Human studies using molecular methods to compare oral microbiota in saliva, subgingival plaque and oral mucosal swabs among e‐cigarette ...

Pyruvate protects pathogenic spirochetes from H2O2 killing.
Pathogenic spirochetes cause clinically relevant diseases in humans and animals, such as Lyme disease and leptospirosis. The causative agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, and the causative agent of leptospirosis, Leptospria interrogans ...

The Prevalence of Oral Spirochetes in Korean Adult Periodontitis
In the present study, oligonucleotide probes based on 16S rRNA were taken to investigate the diversity of oral spirochetes without culture method. This is the first study that revealed oral spirochetes of both presently cultivable and uncultured oral ...

Transhemispheric exchange of Lyme disease spirochetes by seabirds
Lyme disease is a zoonosis transmitted by ticks and caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Epidemiological and ecological investigations to date have focused on the terrestrial forms of Lyme disease. Here we show a significant role for

THE OCCURRENCE OF SPIROCHETES IN IXODID TICKS IN NORTH CAROLINA
Ticks were collected at 6 sites in North Carolina identified as the location of tick contact by Lyme disease patients, and at 6 sites located in counties where cases had been diagnosed.

Standardization of medium for culturing Lyme disease spirochetes
To standardize the procedure for isolating and culturing Lyme disease spirochetes, we modified the composition of the medium generally used for this purpose (BSK-II) and developed a system for its distribution. This medium contains no gelatin or agarose,

The Periplasmic Flagellum of Spirochetes
Although spirochete periplasmic flagella have many features similar to typical bacterial flagella, they are unique in their structure and internal periplasmic location. This location provides advantages for pathogenic spirochetes to enter and to adapt in the appropriate host, and to penetrate through matrices that inhibit the motility of most other ...

DNA characterization of Lyme disease spirochetes. [PDF]
Lyme disease spirochetes (LDS) have phenotypic characteristics of both treponemes and borreliae. To ascertain whether one or more species of LDS exist, as well as their taxonomic status, we determined the DNA base (G + C) content for three strains of LDS,
