This is cool

DURHAM, N.C. – Antibiotics are currently the only treatments available
for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, but researchers at Duke
Health are working to expand the medical toolkit by identifying
vulnerable areas of disease-causing bacteria that could lead to
innovative therapies.

The research project, which recently received a $3.8 million grant from
the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, relies on drug discovery
methods that have proven successful in identifying treatments for cancer
and viral diseases.

"Our goal is to find alternatives to antibiotics to treat Lyme disease,
which is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, and illnesses
that arise from the Bartonella pathogen," said Neil Spector
< https://medicine.duke.edu/faculty/neil-lee-spector-md>, M.D., the
Sandra Coates Associate Professor Breast Cancer Research at Duke Cancer
Institute and the study's co-principal investigator.
