   Is Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato a pleomorphic bacterium?

   • The spirochaete bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is the causative agent of Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne infection in the northern hemisphere. There is a long-standing debate regarding the role of pleomorphic forms in Lyme disease pathogenesis, while very little is known about the characteristics of these morphological variants.

   What does Borrelia burgdorferi look like?

   • Borrelia burgdorferi is a microaerophile, requiring small amounts of oxygen in order to undergo glycolysis and survive. Like all other Borrelia sps., this bacterium is also gram-negative and a spirochete. Borrelia colonies are often smaller, rounded, and white with an elevated center. B. burgdorferi possesses flagella that allow it motility.

   Is Borrelia burgdorferi a tick borne disease?

   • Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. It is also the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, with approximately 20,000 reported cases to CDC each year. Borrelia burgdorferi is a helical-shaped spirochete that is poorly gram-stained (other spirochetes do not take up Gram stain).
