A time-lapse microscopy series of two GFP-expressing B. burgdorferi in the capillary of the skin of a living C57 mouse is shown. The top spirochete is motile while the bottom spirochete is stationary. Elapsed time is shown at the top right, and the scale is shown at the bottom left. The time lapse was recorded at 0.94 fps and exported to video at 5 fps. Direction of blood flow in this vessel is unknown.
