Hygromycin A treatment of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected Peromyscus leucopus suggests potential as a reservoir-targeted antibiotic.
Lyme disease spirochetes are maintained in natural reservoirs before spilling over into human populations. Targeting these reservoirs with vaccinations or antibiotics could impact the B. burgdorferi enzootic cycle and reduce the risk of human Lyme disease. In this work we report that the narrow spectrum antibiotic hygromycin A is sufficient to disrupt B. burgdorferi transmission from the main eastern U.S. reservoir, Peromyscus leucopus, to ticks. Additionally, hygromycin A-containing baits can clear B. burgdorferi from P. leucopus. These studies lay the foundation for the use of hygromycin A as a reservoir-targeted antibiotic to eradicate B. burgdorferi in the wild.

Published continuously since 1904, The Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID) is the premier global journal for original research on infectious diseases. The editors welcome Major Articles and Brief Reports describing research results on microbiology, immunology, epidemiology, and related disciplines, on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases; on the microbes that cause them; and on disorders of host immune responses. JID is an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
