Glycosphingolipid-binding protein of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.
The binding of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, to glycosphingolipids present in various types of cells was examined. B. burgdorferi bound specifically to galactosylceramide (GalCer) and glucosylceramide (GlcCer) but not to other glycosphingolipids, as determined by a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) overlay assay. The binding specificity of B. burgdorferi to various gl...

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 کاملDynamics of antibodies in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infections.
UNLABELLED Antibody response in infections with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is generally considered to be slow and delayed, but exact studies concerning this question are hardly found in the scientific literature. During 1994-1998 at least two serum samples were submitted for serological testing from more than 1200 patients. An immunofluorescence test was performed paralelly with two pools ...
متن کاملDistribution of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in China.
We genotyped 102 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato strains isolated from ticks, animals, and patients in 11 provinces in China by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) amplification of 5S (rrf)-23S (rrl) rRNA gene spacer amplicons and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA). The results showed that Borrelia garinii was the main genotype in China (65/102) and that it was distributed ...
