Roblin PM, Kohlhoff SA, Parker C, Hammerschlag MR.
The in vitro activities of CEM-101, telithromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, and doxycycline against 10 isolates each of Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia (Chlamydophila) pneumoniae were tested. The MIC at which 90% of the isolates of both C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae were inhibited and the minimal bactericidal concentration at which 90% of the isolates were killed by CEM-101 were 0.25 microg/ml (ranges, 0.125 to 0.5 microg/ml for C. trachomatis and 0.25 to 1.0 microg/ml for C. pneumoniae).
