Whole-genome sequences of Borrelia bissettii, Borrelia valaisiana, and Borrelia spielmanii.
It has been known for decades that human Lyme disease is caused by the three spirochete species Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia garinii. Recently, Borrelia valaisiana, Borrelia spielmanii, and Borrelia bissettii have been associated with Lyme disease. We report the complete genome sequences of B. valaisiana VS116, B. spielmanii A14S, and B. bissettii DN127.
متن کاملLyme Borreliosis and Borrelia spielmanii
To the Editor: A report on erythema migrans (EM) caused by Borrelia spielmanii in a recent issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases (1) was a stimulus for a review of data on this Borrelia species in patients with early Lyme borreliosis (LB). We report a patient with EM, examined at our LB outpatient clinic, from whom B. spielmanii was isolated from the skin lesion. The presence of this species wa...

To the Editor: Lyme disease is the most frequent tickborne human infection in the northern hemisphere. At least 5 species of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. bissettii, and B. lusitaniae, have a pathogenic role in human Lyme disease in central Europe (1–3). A sixth pathogenic strain, A14S, has been isolated from 1 Dutch (4) an...

sive alternative to glycopeptides for the treatment of MRSA infections. Data from the United States and Europe have shown that vancomycinintermediate S. aureus isolates also remain susceptible to some of the conventional antimicrobial drugs, including co-trimoxazole (5). If their efficacy in vivo is validated by clinical trials, use of these conventional drugs would not only reduce the load on ...
متن کاملExpanded diversity among Californian borrelia isolates and description of Borrelia bissettii sp. nov. (formerly Borrelia group DN127).
Up to now, the only species in the complex Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato known to cause Lyme borreliosis in the United States has been B. burgdorferi sensu stricto. However, some atypical strains closely related to the previously designated genomic group DN127 have been isolated in the United States, mostly in California. To explore the diversity of B. burgdorferi sensu lato group DN127, we a...
