== | ==Introduction== | ||
Osp-B is an outer-surface protein molecule found in the Lyme disease spirochete ''Borrelia burgdorferi'', a molecule essential for the survival of the bacterium. Since its primary function is to serve both as a site of antibody recognition and as the microvillar attachment to the ''Ixodes scapularis'' midgut, it is constitutively expressed. | Osp-B is an outer-surface protein molecule found in the Lyme disease spirochete ''Borrelia burgdorferi'', a molecule essential for the survival of the bacterium.
