Your evidence bar may be unrealistically high here—Lyme has never been successfully cultured in any context (unless you count xenodiagnosis as a form of culturing).
- PragmaticPulp 7y ago> Lyme has never been successfully cultured in any context Not true. Not sure where you are reading that. Lyme is difficult to culture, but it can be cultured: Scroll down to the "Culture" section: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4441761/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4441761/ Regardless, my bar for evidence would be human trials in PTLDS patients with Azlocillin. Given that Azlocillin is already FDA approved and the researchers initially started studying it in 2016, I'm surprised no one has tried it yet.
- oblib 7y agoWell, all he's really doing here is pointing out it's not time to pop the cork on the bottle yet. That's not the same as saying this work won't help lead to that. We can all hope it does while waiting to know for sure. I appreciate the additional info and context provided.
