Biofilm/Persister/Stationary Phase Bacteria Cause More Severe Disease Than Log Phase Bacteria IBiofilm Borrelia burgdorferi Not Only Display More Tolerance to Lyme Antibiotics But Also Cause More Severe Pathology In a Mouse Arthritis Model: Implications for Understanding Persistence, PTLDS and Treatment Failure

Jie Feng, Tingting Li, Yuting Yuan, Rebecca Yee, Ying Zhang

This study shows that biofilm and persister forms of Borrelia burgdorferi cause more severe arthritis in mice than log phase forms, suggesting their role in persistent Lyme disease.
