Activity of telithromycin against thirteen new isolates of C. burnetii including three resistant to doxycycline
Abstract
In this study we have evaluated the in vitro activity of antibiotics against 13 new isolates of Coxiella burnetii using a real-time quantitative PCR assay. MICs against doxycycline ranged from 1 to 8 microg/mL, telithromycin from 0.5 to 2 microg/mL, and all strains had MICs > or = 8 microg/mL for erythromycin. We report that strains resistant to doxycycline exist either in humans or animals.
