Journal of Medical Microbiology, 11/19/08
Yao SM et al. - Authors report the result of antimicrobial susceptibility testing performed for the suspected erythromycin-resistant isolate, as well as for an additional 27 B. pertussis clinical isolates that represented almost all epidemiologically unrelated isolates obtained throughout Taiwan between 2003 and 2007. All isolates were fully susceptible to azithromycin, erythromycin, clarithromycin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. This result demonstrates the general susceptibility of B. pertussis to antimicrobial agents in vitro in Taiwan.
