Borrelia spirochetes have the ability to adhere to the cells of the body

Borrelia spirochetes have the ability to adhere to the cells of the body, as well as to B lymphocyte immune cells using enzymes to create a hole in their cell walls, destroy the cell nucleus, and then use the cell coat as a “mask”. In this way, bacteria manage to avoid recognition by cells of the immune system. Furthermore, Borrelia spirochetes also attack immune cells, T cells and NK cells (Natural Killer cells).
