GLA POV: Ability of Stationary Phase Persister/Biofilm Microcolonies of Borrelia burgdorferi to Cause More....

Ying Zhang, Ph.D., a Global Lyme Alliance (GLA)-funded investigator, and his team at Johns Hopkins just published a study that establishes for the first time that varying levels of persistence & the severity of disease pathology caused by infection with B. burgdorferi is linked to different morphological forms of the spirochete. The findings may not only provide a new understanding of chronic Lyme disease, but also will inform and accelerate development and testing of novel persister drug combination regimens that can more effectively cure persistent Lyme disease in the future.
