Short-Chain Fatty Acids Alter Metabolic and Virulence Attributes of Borrelia burgdorferi
Abstract
Borrelia burgdorferi responds to a variety of host-derived factors and appropriately alters its gene expression for adaptation under different host-specific conditions. We previously showed that various levels of acetate, a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), altered the protein profile of B. burgdorferi .
