I think Zithro treats Babesia. I have improved a very good deal with Cipro for Bart. Levaquin is one of the more popular drugs for Bart, Along w/ Cipro and Rifampin. There can be serious side effects with all 3 so make sure to research the drugs. Magnesium must be taken with Cipro or Levaquin.

Zith is good but can't be used alone. It should be combined with Rifampin or Rifabutin.
