Resumo

It is hoped that this review will provide a stimulus to research in antispirochetal resistance by furnishing a survey of past research and discussion and by pointing out possible pathways of future investigation. An ulterior motive, perhaps, is to stir up interest in the spirochetes themselves by stressing their qualities apparently unique among microorganisms.
