Cas9-mediated endogenous plasmid loss in <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>
2022-09-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi , which causes Lyme disease, has the most segmented genome among known bacteria. In addition to a linear chromosome, the B. burgdorferi genome contains over 20 linear and circular endogenous plasmids. While many of these plasmids are dispensable under in vitro culture conditions, they are maintained during the natural life cycle of the pathogen. Plasmid-enco...
