By: Matt Hryniewicki Classification Domain: Bacteria Kingdom: Bacteria Phylum: Spirochaetes Order: Spirochaetales Family: Spirochaetaceae Genus: Borrelia Species: B. burgdorferi Structure Helical Shape Contains inner and outer cell membrane Flexible cell wall The 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 proteins Can turn into a cyst if in unfavorable conditions Converts back to spirochete under favorable conditions Metabolism Relies on host for energy precursors Limited metabolic capabilities Contains 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 Nutrition Can be cultivated in vitro Growth medium contains over 13 ingredients in a rabbit serum base Optimal temperature is 32 degrees Celsius Microaerophile or anaerobic Gram Stain Negative gram stain History First recorded in 1883 by Alfred Buchwald Discovered in 1982 by Dr. Willy Burgdorfer Several cases popped up in the towns of Lyme and Old Lyme in 1975 Disease Causing Causes Lyme Disease Carried by ticks Ticks pick up the bacteria from infected mice and deer Produces a “bulls-eye” rash Treated with antibiotics if predicted within 72 hours Ibuprofen used to relieve joint stiffness Most prevalent tick-borne illness in the U.S. Works Cited Abedon, Stephen T.
