Borrelia burgdorferi was isolated from a field-caught Peromyscus leucopus from central Oklahoma (USA). The strain was identified as B. burgdorferi by reaction with monoclonal antibody H5332 specific for the outer surface protein OspA of B. burgdorferi. This represents the first isolation of B. burgdorferi from a wild mouse outside of the normal range of the known vectors Ixodes dammini and I. pacificus.
伯氏疏螺旋体是从美国俄克拉何马州中部野外捕获的一只白足鼠中分离出来的。通过与针对伯氏疏螺旋体外表面蛋白OspA的单克隆抗体H5332反应,该菌株被鉴定为伯氏疏螺旋体。这是首次在已知媒介达敏硬蜱和太平洋硬蜱正常分布范围之外的野生小鼠中分离出伯氏疏螺旋体。
