Host-specific functional compartmentalization within the oligopeptide transporter during the Borrelia burgdorferi enzootic cycle.

Borrelia burgdorferi must acquire all of its amino acids (AAs) from its arthropod vector and vertebrate host. Previously, we determined that peptide uptake via the oligopeptide (Opp) ABC transporter is essential for spirochete viability in vitro and during infection. Our prior study also suggested t...
