Comparative analysis of Borrelia's Defence mechanisms and their impact on genetic manipulation of low-passage isolates of Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii - Research
Borrelia, a highly prevalent tick-borne pathogen, has a genome with a linear chromosome and numerous linear and circular plasmids. There are three groups of Borrelia: Lyme borreliosis, relapsing fever, and Echidna-reptile. In Europe, Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the main causative agents of Lyme borreliosis. The primary defence mechanism of bacteria against bacteriophages and other…
