Lack of Macrolide Resistance in Chlamydia trachomatis after Mass Azithromycin Distributions for Trachoma

摘要

We investigated antimicrobial drug resistance in ocular Chlamydia trachomatis18 months after 4 biannual commu-nitywide distributions of antimicrobial drugs in a region of Ethiopia where ocular strains of C. trachomatis are highly endemic. We found no significant differences in susceptibili-ties to azithromycin and doxycycline in 6 posttreatment and 4 pretreatment samples.
