ELISA-Based Measurement of Antibody Responses and PCR-Based Detection Profiles Can Distinguish between Active Infection and Early Clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi by John J. Lazarus, Akisha L. McCarter, Kari Neifer-Sadhwani, R. Mark Wooten

“…These data indicate that both ELISA-based serological analyses and PCR-based methods of assessing B. burgdorferi infection clearly distinguish between an established infection with live bacteria and exposure to large numbers of bacteria that are promptly cleared by the innate responses.…”

A model of optimal dosing of antibiotic treatment in biofilm by Mudassar Imran, Hal L. Smith

“…In addition, we derive the optimal antibiotic application protocols for different scenarios using control theory and show that such treatments ensure bacteria elimination for a wide variety of cases. The results show that bacteria are successfully eliminated if the discrete treatment is given at an early stage in the infection or if the optimal protocol is adopted. …”

L’antibiorésistance : un bon exemple du concept « une seule santé » by Jarlier, Vincent

“…Antibiotic resistance is the direct deleterious consequence of two synergistic causes linked to human activity: the massive use of antibiotics in human and animal health, which leads to the selection of the most resistant bacteria, and the spread of these selected resistant bacteria, directly by cross-transmission within human and animal populations and indirectly via the environment. …”

Clostridial (Blackleg) Diseases of Cattle by Eddie J. Richey

“… Diseases including blackleg, malignant edema, sord, black disease, red water, and three kinds of enterotoxemia are all caused by a genus of bacteria called Clostridium. These bacteria have three important qualities: they multiply only in the absence of oxygen; they have the ability to survive adverse conditions by transforming into highly resistant forms called spores; and they release potent toxins during the process of multiplying. …”
