Borrelia: Molecular Biology, Host Interaction and Pathogenesis

2011-03-22

Abstract excerpt

Since the discovery of Borrelia burgdorferi as the tick-borne spirochetal agent of Lyme disease in 1982, perhaps no other bacterial organism has captured the attention of clinicians and scientists while developing a parallel, internet-fueled mistaken identity as the mysterious agent of myriad maladies labeled “chronic Lyme disease.” Although the evil twin protagonist is a common device in many fictional genres, th...
