Antispirochetic

Definition

Acting against spirochetes, which are spiral-shaped bacteria that cause diseases like syphilis and Lyme disease.

Etymology

From anti- (against) + spirochetic (relating to spirochetes). Spirochete comes from Greek speira (coil) + chete (hair), describing their spiral shape; this medical term became common after spirochetes were identified in syphilis.

Kelly Says

The discovery of antispirochetic drugs was a medical breakthrough—before antibiotics like penicillin, syphilis was a devastating lifelong disease, and finding treatments that could actually kill these twisted bacteria gave hope to millions of infected people.
