Role of Borrelia burgdorferi linear plasmid 25 in infection of Ixodes scapularis ticks.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2005

Strother Keith O, de Silva Aravinda

Abstract excerpt

The tick-borne bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi has over 20 different circular and linear plasmids. Some B. burgdorferi plasmids are readily lost during in vitro culture or genetic manipulation. Linear plasmid 25, which is often lost in laboratory strains, is required for the infection of mice. Strains missing linear plasmid 25 (lp25(-)) are able to infect mice if the BBE22 gene on lp25 is provided on a shuttle...
