Erp and Rev adhesins of the Lyme disease spirochete’s ubiquitous cp32 prophages assist the bacterium during vertebrate infection

2022-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Almost all spirochetes in the genus Borrelia (sensu lato) naturally contain multiple variants of closely related prophages. In the Lyme disease borreliae, these prophages are maintained as circular episomes that are called cp32s ( c ircular p lasmid 32 kb). The cp32s of Lyme agents are particularly unique in that they encode two distinct families of lipoproteins, Erp and Rev, that are expressed on the bacteria...
