Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analyzed the serum resistance mechanism of Borrelia miyamotoi, an emerging relapsing fever pathogen. We found that the bom1093 and bom1515 genes encoded on B. miyamotoi episomal chromosome are deeply involved in the serum resistance mechanism of B. miyamotoi, and that their function is to bind to vitronectin in serum. These factors could negatively regulate the complement terminal pathway, thereby circumventing the bactericidal mechanism.
