  1. Borrelia infection as determined by culture1 or qPCR2 and shown as number of positive mice/total mice. Cumulative infection was calculated as the number of mice that were positive in at least one of the organs either by culture or qPCR. Significance was calculated compared to the PBS groups and significant differences are indicated by * (Chi-square, p = 0.04).
