RESUMO
The activities of azithromycin, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin against 21 Legionella isolates were measured by an agar dilution method and in macrophages. The MICs for 90% of strains tested were 2.0, 1.0, and 0.5 micrograms/ml for azithromycin, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin, respectively. Azithromycin and ciprofloxacin were both bactericidal in the macrophage system, but erythromycin was bacteriostatic.
