ABSTRACT

The growth of 29 human strains from the three main pathogenic species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato on a solid BSK-based medium was compared in two culture atmospheres: 3% CO(2) air and anaerobiosis. All strains grew under anaerobic conditions, whereas only 13 strains were able to grow in aerobiosis with 3% CO(2) (P<0.001). In the latter condition, 75% of the B. burgdorferi sensu stricto strains grew versus 33% of the B. garinii and B. afzelii strains. These data suggest that, especially for B. garinii and B. afzelii species, anaerobic conditions enhance growth yield and speed of low-passage Borrelia strains.
