I thought some of you might find this interesting of all the bacterias Bicillin is effective against. Since Lyme Disease can be the tip of the iceberg according to my LLMd. If chronic we may not know ALL that we are co-infected with. For myself, I was happy to see, after being in animal rescue for years and bitten and scratched by quite a few cats/dogs, there are quite a few bacterias animals carry in their saliva that are covered by Bicillin.
Next to each bacteria, it shows whether it is a 1st line or 2nd line treatment.
Notice a strain of Bartonella is on this list. That is VERY interesting because when I did Bicillin w/Biaxin I got rid of B. henselae. List was compiled by Johns Hopkins:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aerobic gram-negative bacilli Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans 2nd line Capnocytophaga canimorsus 1st line Eikenella corrodens 1st line Pasteurella multocida 1st line Tropheryma whippelii 2nd line
Aerobic gram-negative cocci Neisseria meningitidis 1st line
Aerobic gram-positive bacilli Bacillus anthracis 2nd line Corynebacterium diphtheriae 2nd line Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae 1st line Propionibacterium acnes 1st line
Aerobic gram-positive cocci Leuconostoc species 1st line Streptobacillus moniliformis 1st line Streptococcus Group C 1st line Streptococcus Group G 1st line Streptococcus agalactiae -Group B- 1st line Streptococcus iniae 1st line Streptococcus intermedius group -S. anginosus, S intermedius, S. constellatus- 1st line Streptococcus pneumoniae PCN sensitive, MIC < 0.1 mcg/ml 1st line Streptococcus pyogenes Group A 1st line
Anaerobic gram-negative bacilli Fusobacterium necrophorum 1st line Leptotrichia buccalis 1st line Prevotella intermedius 2nd line Prevotella melaninogenicus 2nd line
Anaerobic gram-positive bacilli Actinomyces israelii 1st line Actinomyces naeslundii 1st line Actinomyces odontolyticus 1st line Arachnia propionica 1st line
Anaerobic gram-positive cocci Peptostreptococcus species 1st line Viridans streptococci 1st line
Miscellaneous Bartonella bacilliformis 2nd line
Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi - Lyme Disease 2nd line Borrelia recurrentis 2nd line Leptospira interrogans 1st line Spirillum minus 1st line Treponema pallidum - Syphilis 1st line Treponema species -other than pallidum- 1st line

Thanks for this list! The one thing not on there is any type of staph. Since I have been hospitalized twice with serious staph, I wonder if I need to add something else to Bicillin....

Oh, and another friend of ours: Clamydia Pneumonae (sp?) or CPn. What works for that?

farraday, I looked it up again to check on Staph and this is what is reads about Staph, that it is usually penicillin resistant,(wikipedia reads that it has become resistant to them, it use to be the way it was treated) here is the quote below. There are apparently 2 strains of Staph, I have copy/pasted regarding both strains.
For Chlamydia Pneumoniae, macrolides, such as Biaxin (clarithromycin), Azithromycin are first line choices:
Staphylococcus aureus Gram-positive cocci in clusters. Easily grown on blood agar or other conventional media. Coagulase positive and thermonuclease positive. Penicillin resistance conferred by penicillinase production which can be overcome by the addition of a beta-lactamase inhibitor (e.g. ampicillin/sulbactam) or use of a penicillinase-resistant penicillin (e.g. oxacillin, nafcillin). Methicillin resistance conferred by presence of mecA gene which encodes penicillin binding protein 2a, an enzyme that has low affinity for beta-lactams and thus leads to resistance to methicillin, oxacillin, nafcillin, and cephalosporins. Community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) isolates often maintain susceptability to tetracyclines and TMP-SMX (Bactrim/Septra). Clindamycin susceptibilities vary geographically. If isolate is erythromycin resistant, must confirm clindamycin susceptibility with D-test.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Staphylococci, coagulase negative Coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) are aerobic, gram positive coccus, occuring in clusters. Frequently found on skin and mucous membranes. Catalase positive, coagulase negative. Major pathogen is S. epidermidis, colonies typically small, white-beige (about 1-2 mm in diameter). Over forty recognized species of CNS, with other major entities including S. lugdunensis, S. haemolyticus. Susceptibility to the novobiocin distinguishes S. epidermidis from other common coagulase negative organisms. S. saprophyticus is S. saprophyticus is phosphatase-negative, urease and lipase positive. Many strains with propensity to produce biofilm, allowing for adherence to medical devices. Usually resistant of penicillin and methicillin.
