lyme disease

a recent study from the University of California, Davis, provides
the first evidence that the bacteria causing Lyme disease can evade
antibiotics by "hiding out" in tissue throughout the body and remain
infectious long after treatment ends.

"Lyme disease is a tough nut to crack," said Stephen Barthold, the
study's lead researcher and director of the university's Center for
Comparative Medicine. "The bacterium causing Lyme disease has
evolved to evade the body's immune system, so it's not surprising
that it can also evade antibiotics. "
