Background: The clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in North America and Europe
seem to differ, but a systematic comparison has never been done. Objective: To compare …

In 1994, we isolated Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato from 231 patients with erythema migrans
who presented to the University Medical Center in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Samples of erythema …

By cloning and sequencing the flagellin gene of Borrelia hermsii and comparing this
sequence with that of the corresponding gene from B. burgdorferi, I identified a central …

In Europe, at least three species of Borrelia are known to be causative agents of Lyme
borreliosis: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, and B. afzelii. Observable differences in …

In the course of performing culture isolation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato for the
diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis in Slovenia, we encountered nine patients who were infected …

During the period from 1986 to 2000, 85 adult patients with solitary borrelial lymphocytoma
were diagnosed at the Department of Infectious Diseases, University Medical Centre …

Strain 25015 is an atypical tick isolate that belongs to a distinct genomic group (DNI27)
within the general taxon Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Similarities between this strain and …

A series of mutants of Escherichia coli k12 resistant to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-specific
bacteriophages were isolated, and examined with regard to their general properties, phage …

Previously, the gene for heat-stable enterotoxin II (STII) has been mapped by transposon
Tn5 insertion mutagenesis in the chimeric R-Ent plasmid pCG86 (Mazaitis, AJ, R. Maas, and …

Solitary lymphocytoma is a rare cutaneous manifestation of Lyme borreliosis that has been
reported almost exclusively from Europe. This suggests that its etiologic agent may be …
