In vitro and in vivo antibiotic susceptibility of Lyme disease Borrelia isolated from the ixodid tick in Japan.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of the Lyme disease Borrelia, strain HP1 vi, isolated from the tick ixodes persulcatus in Hokkaido, Japan, was determined in vitro and in vivo. A broth dilution technique was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum borreliacidal concentrations (MBCs) of five antimicrobial agents. Strain HP1 vi was most susceptible to minocycline (MBC, 0.2 micrograms/ml). The other antimicrobial agents tested, aspoxicillin, cefmetazole sodium, imipenem cilastatin sodium, and panipenem betamipron, had higher MBCs of 12.5 micrograms/ml, 25 micrograms/ml, > 25 micrograms/ml, and > 25 micrograms/ml, respectively. In vivo antibiotic susceptibility study using a ddY mouse model demonstrated that minocycline and amoxicillin were effective; minocycline had a lower 50% effective dose (ED50) value (6.25 mg/kg) than amoxicillin (30 mg/kg).[1]
