Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The ability to cultivate Borreliella (Borrelia) burgdorferi is a cornerstone of Lyme disease research. For blood, plasma is the preferred source of culture material ([1][1][–][2][3][3]). Studies in the United States have used EDTA as the anticoagulant ([1][1], [2][2], [4][4][–][5][6][6]). Our
