Abstract
Reference strains of Legionella pneumophila (serotypes 1-4 and 6), L. micdadei and L. bozemanii were susceptible (agar dilution test, buffered charcoal yeast extract agar) to erythromycin, rifampin, augmentin (amoxycillin plus clavulanic acid), cefotaxime, cefoxitin, enoxacin, fusidic acid and norfloxacin; cefamandole was less active. The strains varied in susceptibility to fosfomycin.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
