Project description:The aim of the study was to compare the global transcriptional responses elicited in NHDF cells by three different strains of Borrelia burgdorferi ss (the agent of Lyme borreliosis), representative of different stages in the life cycle of Borrelia: one reference strain isolated from a tick (strain N40), and two invasive strains isolated from skin biopsy of erythema migrans (strain Pbre c4) and acrodermatitis chronica atrophians skin lesions (strain 1408 c1).
