While the standard antibiotics used to treat Lyme disease do the job for the majority of patients, somewhere between 10 and 20 percent go on to experience its symptoms. These include muscle pain, fatigue, fever, headaches and heart problems. There are couple of theories for why this might be...
Since 2000, an increase in the number of antifungal compounds has been sought because there is a critical need to treat life-threatening invasive fungal infections. In the last decade, newer and less toxic antifungal drugs have been discovered for clinical use. Antifungal agents are classified by...

to reproduce or to transfer their resistance to others of their species through processes ofgeneexchange. With their more vulnerable competitors wiped out or reduced in numbers by antibiotics, these resistant strains proliferate. The end result is bacterial infections in humans that are untreatable by...

Antibody response to IR6, a conserved immunodominant region of the VlsE lipoprotein, wanes rapidly after antibiotic treat- ment of Borrelia burgdorferi infection in experimental animals and in humans. J Infect Dis. 2001; 184 (7): 870-878. PMID: 11550127...
The results showed how rising resistance was a “pressing public health issue, jeopardising our ability to treat enteric fever effectively”, said Annie Browne, a spatial modeller and the lead author, on the study’s publication. Pakistan, which suffered devastating floods in 2022, has a particula...
Sadly, tetracycline cannot be used to treat some bacterial infections, when it previously could. Today, tetracycline is used to treat infections caused by: Various skin bacterial species that cause acne Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease) Rickettsia rickettsii (causes Rocky Mountain spotted...
and humans. The adult RDA for silver is 400 milligrams. Doctors have connected silver with our bodies natural defense system. So, if we are deficient in silver we may be subject to far more illness and disease than if we had sufficient silver in our system. When our body has enough silve...
Lyme disease (LD) is a common zoonotic disease in many parts of the world. It is a vector-borne infection that is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. The potential for maternal–fetal transmission of Borrelia spp. has been discussed since the 1980s. Prior to the identi...
