Question: 1 / 400

What bacteria causes Lyme disease?

Rickettsia

Spirilla

Lyme disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi. This bacteria is a type of spirilla, which are spiral-shaped bacteria. Rickettsia, another type of bacteria, causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever and typhus, not Lyme disease. Treponema pallidum is responsible for syphilis, not Lyme disease. Vibrio cholerae causes cholera, a severe intestinal infection, not Lyme disease. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it is the only option that correctly identifies the type of bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
