Which drugs is Borrelia vulnerable to?

Linda’s comment: Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.

CONCLUSION: Antibiotics have varying effects on the different
morphological forms of B. burgdorferi. Persistence of viable organisms
in round body forms and biofilm-like colonies may explain treatment
failure and persistent symptoms following antibiotic therapy of Lyme
disease.
