| Description |
Like all spirochetes, Borrelia species are Gram-negative helical organisms that are 0.20.5 micrometers wide and 320 micrometers long, with a protoplasmic cylinder surrounded by a cytoplasmic membrane, then by periplasm and, finally, by an outer membrane. Borrelia are longer and more loosely coiled thanother spirochetes. There are 19 species of Borrelia. B. burgdorferi is responsible for all cases of Lyme disease inthe United States, whereas B. afzelii and B. garinii are responsible for the disease in Europe and Asia. Other Borrelia species cause relapsing fever. |
