"These persisters could explain why many with Lyme do not recover with regular antibiotics. Regular antibiotics in various laboratory experiments do not treat persisters. These regular antibiotics include common antibiotics like amoxicillin, doxycycline, azithromycin, clarithromycin, tinidazole, rifampin, cefuroxime and others."
"The following are four general rules I use to develop a Lyme disease antibiotic regimen.
Rule 1. Combine antibiotics to treat all forms of the germ.
Rule 2. Combine antibiotics to treat Lyme living outside and inside of cells.
Rule 3. Combine antibiotics that work in different ways to attack the germ from different angles.
Rule 4. Treat all growth phases of Lyme at the same time - this means treatments should include antimicrobials that address persisters in addition to the growth phase of the term."
"The use of extended therapy also involved switching from one antibiotic to another and/or combinations of antibiotics. The study found, 43% of patients were switched from one antibiotic to another, while 18% were prescribed combinations of antibiotics."
"The study, published March 28 in Discovery Medicine, also found that these “persister” Lyme bacteria were resistant to standard single-antibiotic Lyme treatments currently used to treat Lyme patients, while a three-antibiotic cocktail eradicated the Lyme bacteria in the mouse model."
