    Author: van Rensburg D, Fogarty C, De Salvo MC, Rangaraju M, Nusrat R.
    Journal: J Infect; 2005 Oct; 51(3):201-5. PubMed ID: 16230216.
    Abstract:
    The efficacy of oral telithromycin 800mg once daily for 7 days was evaluated in a multicentre, multinational study in patients with community-acquired pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae resistant to penicillin and/or erythromycin. Per-protocol clinical and bacteriological outcomes were assessed 10-17 days post-therapy. Of the 129 patients with S. pneumoniae infection, 16 were infected with strains resistant to penicillin and/or erythromycin. Fifteen of these 16 patients (93.8%) were assessed as clinically and bacteriologically cured at the post-therapy visit.
