Target Information

Borrelia burgdorferi is a spirochete and the causative agent of Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness affecting humans and animals. It can persist for extended periods despite a strong immune response. The bacterium is spiral-shaped, motile, and primarily extracellular, with a unique genome comprising a linear chromosome (~1 Mb) and multiple linear and circular plasmids.
