| Title | Lack of macrolide resistance in Chlamydia trachomatis after mass azithromycin distributions for trachoma. | | Author(s) | Hong KC, Schachter J, Moncada J, Zhou Z, House J, Lietman TM | | Institution | University of California, San Francisco, California 94143, USA. | | Source | Emerg Infect Dis 2009 Jul; 15(7):1088-90. | | Abstract | We investigated antimicrobial drug resistance in ocular Chlamydia trachomatis 18 months after 4 biannual communitywide distributions of antimicrobial drugs in a region of Ethiopia where ocular strains of C. trachomatis are highly endemic. We found no significant differences in susceptibilities to azithromycin and doxycycline in 6 posttreatment and 4 pretreatment samples. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
