Molecular testing of serial blood specimens from patients with early Lyme disease during antibiotic treatment reveals changing Borrelia burgdorferi genotypes
This pilot study showed a direct molecular Lyme disease diagnostic test could be used to identify and genotype Borrelia burgdorferi during antibiotic treatment in early Lyme disease patients. Findings suggest that the host immune system or differential antibiotic susceptibility might have played a role in the observed genotypic shift.
