The virulence of the Lyme disease spirochete could depend on its swimming speed, according to scientists. The authors of “Vancomycin Reduces Cell Wall Stiffness and Slows Swim Speed of the Lyme Disease Bacterium” report that antibiotis in vitro could negatively impact spirochete survival by impeding their swim speed.
