| | Eradication of the Lyme spirochete is not a reasonable expectation with treatment; the organism is simply too good at hiding. | | | The goal instead is to bring the patient into what is called a premunitive state. | | | Lyme disease in the dog is an infection for which over 90% of infected dogs will never get sick and the 5% to 10% that do get sick can be easily treated with a safe inexpensive course of antibiotics. |

| | The species Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato has several well-characterized groups that may lead to different clinical manifestations. | | | Using high volume (9 mL) of plasm for culture, one 2005 study suggests that nearly 44% of patients are spirochetemic, some of them with a single skin lesion and no systemic symptoms. | | | Most importantly, the most commonly performed test measures antibodies to various proteins of the spirochete, some of which are very specific for the organism and others of which are nonspecific. |

| | Recent studies have shown borrelial spirochetes to be directly present in the degenerative synovial surface deposits and in relatively high numbers as compared to the underlying sub-synovium in patients with Lyme synovitis prior to antibiotic therapy. | | | Antibiotic treatment did not eliminate the infection, but reduced the number of spirochetes in skin tissue by a factor of 1000 or more. | | | Vaccine efficacy was determined principally by spirochete re-isolation techniques on skin punch biopsies harvested at various times post-challenge. |
