Methods for Direct Detection of B. burgdorferi Microscopy Several studies have reported on the microscopic visualization of spirochetes in different tissues and fluids by using silver stains or fluorescent techniques including acridine orange and immunofluorescence [12–16]. B. burgdorferi has most frequently been observed in skin biopsies obtained from the advancing edge of the lesion [13]. The sensitivity of microscopy in EM lesions is variable in different series, but by using a modified silver stain (Bosma-Steiner), deKoning reported a sensitivity of 100% [14].
Potential targets for PCR amplification include the 16S rRNA gene, the groESL operon, a region of epank1 that encodes a 150–160 kDa protein with ankyrin repeat motifs, and a newly recognized family of genes related to the p44 outer membrane protein gene and other outer membrane protein genes found broadly in the Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Cowdria, and Wolbachia genera [119,135,141,143–147]. There are at least five different PCR systems de scribed for HGE that could potentially provide useful diagnostic information.
The generation time is about 11 to 12 hours. Growth is detected by removing aliquots of the culture and examining them with dark-field microscopy or fluorescent microscopy using acridine orange or immunostaining. Cultivation of B. burgdorferi from clinical specimens has been most successful from skin specimens collected from the advancing edge of the EM. In one report, B. burgdorferi was cultured from skin in 21 of 35 (60%) untreated patients with EM [20]. Berger et al. reported higher isolation from the edge of the lesion (86%) than from the normal perilesional area (57%) in 21 patients with EM [31].
