Feb 11, 2016 · This virulence factor significantly reduces the effectiveness of the adaptive immune system in responding to the invader. B. burgdorferi also use the tactic of binding to complement H factor through BbCRASPs . These H factors are used by the host immune system to avoid activating complement for self cells.
B. burgdorferi is a microaerobic, motile spirochete with seven to 11 bundled perisplasmic flagella set at each end that allow the bacterium to move in low- and high-viscosity media alike, which is related to its high virulence factor. Metabolism. B. burgdorferi is a slow-growing microaerophilic spirochete with a doubling time of 24 to 48 hours.
