Solution
The correct option is A BSK medium
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and a typical skin rash called erythema migrans. Borrelia burgdorferi can be grown in vitro in Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly (BSK H) growth media which is a standardized complex medium designed to support its growth. It allows the bacterium to reproduce without the need to synthesize too many biological compounds. So, the correct answer is option A.
