In vitro and in vivo susceptibility of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, to four antimicrobial agents
TL;DR: The antimicrobial susceptibility of Borrelia burgdorferi isolated from human spinal fluid was determined in vitro and in vivo and a broth dilution technique was used to determine the MBCs of four antimicrobial agents.

Passive immunization of hamsters against experimental infection with the Lyme disease spirochete.
TL;DR: Hamsters passively immunized with as little as 0.0125 ml of immune rabbit serum (indirect fluorescent-antibody titer, 1:8,192) were protected from challenge with 1,000 50% infective doses of Borrelia burgdorferi.

Active immunization of hamsters against experimental infection with Borrelia burgdorferi.
TL;DR: The immunogenicity of a single dose of a whole-cell vaccine of inactivated Borrelia burgdorferi HSF (human spinal fluid isolate) was evaluated and protection against infection was achieved in hamsters receiving 50 and 100 micrograms (dry weight) of vaccine.

Experimental infection of the hamster with Borrelia burgdorferi.
TL;DR: The origin of the strains of Borrelia burgdorferi used in this study were a human spinal fluid isolate and a human skin isolate, and the spirochetes were cultured in Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly medium2 at 30OC.

Failure of Borrelia burgdorferi to survive in the skin of patients with antibiotic-treated Lyme disease
TL;DR: The failure of B. burgdorferi to survive in the former erythema migrans sites of the authors' antibiotic-treated patients, as well as their favorable clinical response, supports the use of doxycycline or combined amoxicillin and probenecid in the treatment of early Lyme disease but does not preclude the survival of the organism in other tissues.
