Proteomic Analyses of Morphological Variants of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> Shed New Light on Persistence Mechanisms: Implications for Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Treatment
2018-12-19
Abstract excerpt
Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme disease, which is the most common vector borne disease in the United States and Europe. Although 2-4 week antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease is effective in the majority of cases, about 10–20% patients suffer from prolonged post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS).
