Identification of biomarkers of Lyme borreliosis by non-targeted metabolomics

Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most notable vector-borne infectious disease caused by members of spirochete group Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and is spread by ticks from Ixodes family. LB metabolomics have been studied before, but currently, there is no routine analytical method in use for identifying the early stages of the LB, before antibodies are formed after several weeks from the infection [1], [2], [3].
