Isolation of Borrelia miyamotoi and other Borreliae using a modified BSK medium
Abstract Borrelia spirochetes are the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis (LB) and relapsing fever (RF). Despite the steady rise in infections and the identification of new species causing human illness over the last decade, isolation of borreliae in culture has become increasingly rare. A modified...
