Genome structure of spirochetes
Research in Microbiology, 1992The genome structures of several pathogenic spirochetes have recently been determined. The genomes of Borrelia species consist of a linear chromosome of approximately one million base pairs (Mb) and various linear and circular plasmids. Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms and 16S ribosomal RNA sequence data indicate the division of ...

The concept is expressed that Borrelia developed as symbionts of ticks (especially Argasidae) but act as parasites in mammals and birds ... borrelial reservoirs and amplifiers following bites by infected ticks. Certain tick borreliae may multiply in lice but one Borrelia has evolved into a n independent species (B.

Spirochete chemotaxis, motility, and the structure of the spirochetal periplasmic flagella
Research in Microbiology, 1992Spirochetes have a unique motility system that is characterized by flagellar filaments contained within the outer membrane sheath. Direct evidence using video microscopy has recently been obtained which indicates that these periplasmic flagella (PF) rotate in several spirochetal species. This rotation generates thrust.

Spirochetal Infection of the Canaliculus
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1961The inflammation of the canaliculus, although a rare disease, constitutes a clinical entity in the form of suppurative canaliculitis also known as blennorrhea of the canaliculus; the organisms found to be responsible have been staphylococci, gonococci, pneumococci, Bacillus pyocyaneus, diplobacillus, sarcinae, and Micrococcus tetragenus (Duke-Elder ...

A theory for the locomotion of spirochetes
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1972Abstract A hydrodynamic theory for the locomotion of spirochetes is presented. The theory is based on a possible arrangement of internal fibrils such that self rotation about a local body axis is possible. This self rotation is responsible for cancelling the torque produced by the traveling helical waves of the body.

Extrachromosomal elements of spirochetes
Research in Microbiology, 1992The spirochetes include some important pathogenic bacteria, Treponema, Borrelia and Leptospira. The pathogeneses of these spirochetes are very diverse. In an attempt to learn more about the virulence factors among the spirochetes, their genetic organization and capacity have been studied. Structural analysis of the genome in Borrelia has shown that the

Spirochetal Diseases of the CNS
Neurologic Clinics, 1986The neurotropism of the spirochete is evident from the above discussions of syphilis, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, and relapsing fever. In all of these diseases, the organism very likely enters the CNS very early in the course of the disease. The fate of the organism then depends on the virulence of the spirochete, the host defenses, and any antibiotic
