ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In this in vitro study, we evaluated the effectiveness of dapsone individually and in combination with cefuroxime and/or other antibiotics with intracellular activity including doxycycline, rifampin, and azithromycin against Borrelia biofilm forms utilizing crystal violet biofilm mass, and dimethyl methylene blue glycosaminoglycan assays combined with Live/Dead fluorescent microscopy analyses."1.56Effect of dapsone alone and in combination with intracellular antibiotics against the biofilm form of B. burgdorferi.
