Abstract
The comparative in vitro activities of ABT-773 against 207 aerobic and 162 anaerobic antral sinus puncture isolates showed that erythromycin-resistant pneumococcal strains were susceptible to ABT-773 (< or =0.125 microg/ml); the MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited for Haemophilus influenzae and other Haemophilus spp. was 4 microg/ml; and all Moraxella spp. and beta-lactamase-producing Prevotella species strains were inhibited by < or =0.125 microg/ml. Among the anaerobes tested, only fusobacteria (45%) required > or =4 microg of ABT-773/ml for inhibition. ABT-773 may offer a therapeutic alternative for sinus infections.Entities:
