Does anyone have any information on this or can you point to the right direction where I can find this information?

I know that high doses of the tetracycline family of abx (mino and doxy) cross the BBB fairly well.

Which other abx cross over in any quantity large enough to help alleviate neurological problems associated with lyme or other tbd.

My LLMD says that Zithromax and Omnicef can cross the BBB. I think the new one - Ketek - can cross it as well.
