Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Watch videos of the Lyme disease spirochete escaping from the bloodstream of live mice! Most pathogenic microbes that cause systemic infections, regardless of their route of host entry, migrate to the circulatory system, which facilitates their spread throughout the body. These invasive microbes, which include the Lyme disease spirochete B. burgdorferi. Fluoresce by transforming the spirochete with a gfp. Green fluoresc...

Spirochetes Unwound: A new attenuated leptospirosis vaccine protects hamsters from lethal infection by more than one serovar of Leptospira
http://spirochetesunwound.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-attenuated-leptospirosis-vaccine.html
Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Sunday, May 1, 2011. A new attenuated leptospirosis vaccine protects hamsters from lethal infection by more than one serovar of Leptospira. Scientists have demonstrated that a new attenuated leptospirosis vaccine protects laboratory hamsters from being killed by Leptospira. Even when the challenge and vaccine strains belong to different serovars (immune types). This is exactly what happened to the leptospirosis vaccines that are given to dogs.

Spirochetes Unwound: Severe Lyme arthritis: Gagging on GAGs
http://spirochetesunwound.blogspot.com/2014/12/severe-lyme-arthritis-gagging-on-gags.html
Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Severe Lyme arthritis: Gagging on GAGs. Has been mapping genetic variants that make laboratory mice prone to severe Lyme arthritis. One of these variants is described in a paper. The Journal of Clinical Investigation. Earlier this year. The affected gene encodes the enzyme β-glucuronidase, which carries out a critical function in the lysosome. The key to the study was having strains of mice that differed in their susce...

Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Is sterilizing immunity against Leptospira. Possible with protein subunit vaccines? Serogroup B, Streptococcus pneumoniae. And other bacterial pathogens (reviewed in this. It's been hard enough to find leptospiral proteins that protect hamsters from lethal disease when tested as vaccines (see this article. For a review), yet Murray and colleagues sought proteins that protected against Leptospira. Colonization, a more d...
