Abstract
The in vitro activities of ABT 773, telithromycin (HMR 3647), azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, and levofloxacin were tested against 20 strains of Chlamydia pneumoniae . The MIC at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited and the minimal bactericidal concentration at which 90% of the isolates were killed by ABT 773 were 0.015 μg/ml (range, 0.008 to 0.015 μg/ml). ABT 773 was the most active antibiotic tested in this study.Keywords
