Spirochetes: At what temperature do they die?

Question

Specifically, I am looking for the temperature at which the spirochete borellia bugdorferi will be eliminated. The temperature may be given in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

As I am doing a little research project here, a link to a reputable source with the same information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

It dies at the 39 up degrees Celsius.

Additional Info:

Borrelia burgdorferi is species of bacteria of the spirochete class of the genus Borrelia. B. burgdorferi is predominant in North America, but also exists in Europe, and is the agent of Lyme disease.

It is a zoonotic, vector-borne disease transmitted by ticks and is named after the researcher Willy Burgdorfer who first isolated the bacterium in 1982. B. burgdorferi is one of the few pathogenic bacteria that can survive without iron, having replaced all of its iron-sulfur cluster enzymes with enzymes that use manganese, thus avoiding the problem many pathogenic bacteria face in acquiring iron.
