Not true. Not sure where you are reading that.
Lyme is difficult to culture, but it can be cultured: Scroll down to the "Culture" section: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4441761/
Regardless, my bar for evidence would be human trials in PTLDS patients with Azlocillin. Given that Azlocillin is already FDA approved and the researchers initially started studying it in 2016, I'm surprised no one has tried it yet.
