Homologous and heterologous Borrelia burgdorferi challenge of infection-derived immune rabbits using host-adapted organisms.

abstract：:Human systemic antibody levels to oral members of the Bacteroides genus were assessed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Antibody levels to B. gingivalis, two homology groups of B. intermedius, B. melaninogenicus, B. denticola, B. loescheii, B. corporis, B. oralis, B. buccae, and B. gracilis were determined in...
