Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis) is a tick-borne, zoonosis of adults and children caused by
genospecies of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. The ailment, widespread …

Lyme disease Borrelia are obligately parasitic, tick-transmitted, invasive, persistent bacterial
pathogens that cause disease in humans and non-reservoir vertebrates primarily through …

In little more than 30 years, Lyme disease, which is caused by the spirochaete Borrelia
burgdorferi, has risen from relative obscurity to become a global public health problem and a …

In E scherichia coli, acetylation of proteins at lysines depends largely on a non‐enzymatic
acetyl phosphate‐dependent mechanism. To assess the functional significance of this post …

Spirochete motility is enigmatic: It differs from the motility of most other bacteria in that the
entire bacterium is involved in translocation in the absence of external appendages. Using …

Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that causes Lyme disease, is maintained in nature via an
enzootic cycle that comprises a tick vector and a vertebrate host. Transmission from the tick …

B orrelia burgdorferi, the agent of L yme disease, is maintained in nature within an enzootic
cycle involving a mammalian reservoir and an I xodes sp. tick vector. The transmission …

Borrelia (Borreliella) burgdorferi, along with closely related species, is the etiologic agent of
Lyme disease. The spirochete subsists in an enzootic cycle that encompasses acquisition …

Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease (along with closely related
genospecies), is in the deeply branching spirochete phylum. The bacterium is maintained in …

Cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) is a bacterial second messenger that modulates many
biological processes. Although its role in bacterial pathogenesis during mammalian infection …
