| Structure and strains Borrelia burgdorferi is a bacterial species of the spirochete class in the genus Borrelia, and is one of the causative agents of Lyme disease in humans. Along with a few similar genospecies, some of which also cause Lyme disease, it makes up the species complex of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The complex currently comprises 20 accepted and 3 proposed genospecies.B. burgdorferi sensu stricto exists in North America and Eurasia and until 2016 was the only known cause of Lyme disease in North America. Borrelia species are Gram-negative. |
| Detection and diagnosis Due to the complexity of the clinical picture and the generally unspecific symptoms, serology is the appropriate method to ensure an optimal diagnosis. It is recommended to adopt a logical step-wise approach for serological diagnosis, initially using a sensitive screening assay with subsequent confirmation by another specific test. |
