The Texas Department of Health Laboratory began culturing the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi in 1985. This organism was subsequently isolated from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, joint fluid, skin, bone, and autopsy tissues from humans. Fluorescent-antibody tests with murine monoclonal antibodies confirmed that seven of these isolates were B. burgdorferi and that two others belonged to the genus Borrelia.
德克萨斯州卫生实验室于1985年开始培养莱姆病螺旋体伯氏疏螺旋体。随后从人类的血液、脑脊液、关节液、皮肤、骨骼和尸检组织中分离出这种微生物。用鼠单克隆抗体进行的荧光抗体试验证实，其中7株分离物为伯氏疏螺旋体，另外2株属于疏螺旋体属。
