- This book explores the many mechanisms by which the most prevalent Spirochetal pathogens persist in a healthy immune-competent host
- Among them are the direct and indirect suppression of host immune signals, phase and antigenic variation, escaping recognition by host complement proteins, and seclusion into immune privileged sites
- Addresses antibiotic therapy for control of infection, a baffling topic that lends itself to exalted interpretation
