The burgeoning molecular genetics of the Lyme disease spirochaete.

Nature reviews. Microbiology - 1 Feb 2005

Rosa Patricia A, Tilly Kit, Stewart Philip E

Abstract excerpt

Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in North America and Europe, yet we know little about which components of the causative agent, Borrelia burgdorferi, are critical for infection or virulence. Molecular genetics has provided a powerful means by which to address these topics in other bacterial pathogens. Certain features of B. burgdorferi have hampered the development of an effective...
