Borrelia burgdorferiBy: Matt Hryniewicki
ClassificationDomain: BacteriaKingdom: BacteriaPhylum: SpirochaetesOrder: SpirochaetalesFamily: SpirochaetaceaeGenus: BorreliaSpecies: B. burgdorferi
StructureHelical ShapeContains inner and outer cell membraneFlexible cell wallThe cell’s flagella are located inside the
periplasm between the inner and outer cell membranes (endoflagella)Allows cell to travel through highly
viscous fluids and materials Highly invasive
Outer surface proteinsCan turn into a cyst if in unfavorable
conditionsConverts back to spirochete under
favorable conditions
MetabolismRelies on host for energy precursorsLimited metabolic capabilitiesContains many transport proteins that are
used to obtain compounds from host serum or environment
Uses carbohydrates as source of energy in mammals
Uses N-acetylglucosamine as a major source of energy in ticks.
Produces ATP solely by using substrate-level phophorylation
NutritionCan be cultivated in vitro
Growth medium contains over 13 ingredients in a rabbit serum base
Optimal temperature is 32 degrees CelsiusMicroaerophile or anaerobic
Gram StainNegative gram stain
HistoryFirst recorded in 1883 by Alfred BuchwaldDiscovered in 1982 by Dr. Willy Burgdorfer
Several cases popped up in the towns of Lyme and Old Lyme in 1975
Disease CausingCauses Lyme Disease
Carried by ticks Ticks pick up the bacteria from
infected mice and deerProduces a “bulls-eye” rashTreated with antibiotics if
predicted within 72 hoursIbuprofen used to relieve joint
stiffnessMost prevalent tick-borne
illness in the U.S.
