Note: In Vitro Activity of ABT-773 a New Ketolide against Recent Clinical Isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis

摘要

The in vitro activity of ABT-773 was evaluated against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis isolates. ABT-773 was the most active antimicrobial tested against S. pneumoniae. ABT-773 and azithromycin were equivalent in activity against H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis and more active than either clarithromycin or erythromycin.
