Borrelia burgdorferi Lacking BBK32, a Fibronectin-Binding Protein, Retains Full Pathogenicity

19 May 2006

Abstract excerpt

BBK32, a fibronectin-binding protein of Borrelia burgdorferi, is one of many surface lipoproteins that are differentially expressed by the Lyme disease spirochete at various stages of its life cycle. The level of BBK32 expression in B. burgdorferi is highest during infection of the mammalian host and lowest in flat ticks. This temporal expression profile, along with its fibronectin-binding activity, strongly...
