A putative xanthine dehydrogenase protects <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> from reactive oxygen species and promotes virulence

2022-08-25

Abstract excerpt

Borrelia burgdorferi is a pathogenic bacterium and the causative agent of Lyme Disease. It is exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both the vertebrate and tick hosts. While some mechanisms by which B. burgdorferi ameliorates the effects of ROS exposure have been studied, there are likely many other unknown mechanisms of ROS neutralization that contribute to virulence. Here, we follow up on a three gene clu...
