Lyme disease is on the rise. Caused by a spirochete Borreliella burgdorferi, it affects an estimated 500,000 people in the US alone. The antibiotics currently used to treat Lyme disease are broad-spectrum, damage the microbiome and select for resistance in non-target bacteria. We therefore sought to identify a compound acting selectively against B. burgdorferi. A screen of soil microorganisms revealed a compound highly selective against spirochetes, including B. burgdorferi. Unexpectedly, this compound was determined to be hygromycin A, a known antimicrobial produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Hygromycin A targets the ribosomes and is taken up by B. burgdorferi, explaining its selectivity. Hygromycin A cleared the B. burgdorferi infection in mice, including animals that ingested the compound in a bait, and was less disruptive to the fecal microbiome than clinically relevant antibiotics. This selective antibiotic holds the promise of providing a better therapeutic for Lyme disease, and eradicating it in the environment. Hygromycin A selectively accumulates in Borreliella burgdorferi and eradicates Lyme disease in a mouse model of infection The use of broad-spectrum antibiotics to treat specific pathogens can damage the host microbiome and contribute to antibiotic resistance. Hygromycin A is selectively taken up through a nucleoside transporter specific to spirochete bacteria providing a highly selective antibiotic for spirochete infections such as Lyme disease.
