Biomechanics of Borrelia burgdorferi Vascular Interactions

Biomechanics of Borrelia burgdorferi Vascular Interactions

Systemic dissemination of microbes is critical for progression of many infectious diseases and is associated with most mortality due to bacterial infection. The physical mechanisms mediating a key dissemination step, bacterial association with vascular endothelia in blood vessels, remain unknown. He...
