Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly II (BSKII) medium and BSKH medium both are routinely used for the cultivation ofBorrelia burgdorferi. However, heretofore there have been no studies to compare how these two media affect gene expression patterns in virulentB. burgdorferi. In the present study, we found that someB. burgdorferistrain 297 genes (e.g.,ospA,mlp-7A,mlp-8,p22, andlp6.6) that typically are regulated by temperature or pH displayed their predicted pattern of expression whenB. burgdorferiwas cultivated in BSKH medium; this was not true when spirochetes were cultivated in conventional BSKII medium. The results suggest that BSKH medium is superior to BSKII medium for gene expression studies withB. burgdorferi.
