    There are a lot of people suffering from chronic Lyme Disease who are banking on Azlocillin being a silver bullet cure. I am pretty skeptical.

    I am really unclear as to why Azlocillin was chosen in this study, besides the fact that the researchers have a patent for its reformulation into an oral drug.

    There are probably a lot of compounds that will eradicate Bb in vitro. Remember, Disulfiram was said to do this as well, and it's already available for use. But there are a lot of people who remain sick, with some evidence of persistent infection, despite a course of Dilsulfiram.

    There are a lot of remaining questions for those of us suffering with chronic effects of tick borne infections and I am dubious that Azlocillin is going to change much.
