RNA-Seq-based analysis of changes in Borrelia burgdorferi gene expression linked to pathogenicity

Abstract Background Lyme disease is a global public health problem caused by the spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi. Our previous studies found differences in disease severity between B. burgdorferi B31- and B. garinii SZ-infected mice. We hypothesized that genes that are differentially expressed betw...
