In-vitro susceptibility of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia hermsii to ten antimicrobial agents
J Chemother.
1990 Dec.
Abstract
The in-vitro activity of ten antimicrobial agents against four strains of Borrelia burgdorferi originating both in the United States and Europe and against one isolate of B. hermsii was investigated. Ceftriaxone, erythromycin and roxithromycin were the most active drugs against both Borrelia species studied, with minimum bactericidal concentrations ranging from 0.015 micrograms/ml to 0.125 micrograms/ml.
