In vitro activities of antibiotics alone and in combination against Brucella melitensis at neutral and acidic pHs.

M Akova1, D Gür, D M Livermore, T Kocagöz, H E Akalin.   

Abstract

Brucellae survive acidic pHs in phagolysosomes. Azithromycin, streptomycin, and quinolones were active against Brucella melitensis at pH 7.0 but not at pH 5.0; rifampin and doxycycline retained activity at pH 5.0. Regardless of pH, azithromycin-rifampin and ofloxacin-rifampin showed less synergy than established streptomycin-doxycycline and rifampin-doxycycline combinations.
