متن کاملBiofilm formation by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.
Bacterial biofilms are microbial communities held together by an extracellular polymeric substance matrix predominantly composed of polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids. We had previously shown that Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative organism of Lyme disease in the United States is capable of forming biofilms in vitro. Here, we investigated biofilm formation by B. afzelii ...
متن کاملDecorin binding by DbpA and B of Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu Stricto.
BACKGROUND Decorin adherence is crucial in the pathogenesis of Lyme borreliosis. Decorin-binding proteins (Dbp) A and B are the adhesins that mediate this interaction. DbpA and B of Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) differ in their amino acid sequence, but little attention has been paid to the potential difference in their decorin binding. METHODS...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility testing of four antibiotics against Borrelia burgdorferi: a comparison of results for the three genospecies Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto.
MICs and minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) were evaluated for the four antibiotics azithromycin, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, and doxycycline against the three main genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. In MBC testing, statistically significant differences between the genospecies could be found in 7 out of 12 comparative evaluations (P < 0.05).
متن کاملSensitive detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato DNA and differentiation of Borrelia species by LightCycler PCR.
In order to differentiate species within the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, LightCyler PCR and melting-curve analysis of the amplicons of two genes with intraspecies variability, the p66 gene and the recA gene, were performed. It was demonstrated that nested LightCycler PCR amplification of p66 is more sensitive in the detection of borrelia DNA than amplification of the recA gene. B. ...
