Lyme disease bacteria stays safe by stockpiling manganese

Lyme disease bacteria stays safe by stockpiling manganese

"The bacterium that causes Lyme Disease substitutes manganese for iron in its diet, a new study finds. The pathogen is the first known organism to live without iron. 
This talent helps the pathogen evade the immune system, which often acts against foreign invaders by starving them of iron."
