Membrane-directed Expression of BBA57 and Other Virulence Targets from Borrelia burgdorferi Reveals Structural Evidence of an Outer Membrane Oligomer in the Lyme Disease Pathogen
abstract: Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent of Lyme disease, is a unique pathogen, with a complex genome and unique immune evasion tactics. It lacks genes encoding proteins involved in nutrient synthesis and typical metabolic pathways, and therefore relies on the host for nutrients. The...
