  • Title: Recovery of interfering bacteria in the nasopharynx following antimicrobial therapy of acute maxillary sinusitis with telithromycin or amoxicillin-clavulanate.
    Author: Brook I, Hausfeld JN.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2005 Nov; 49(11):4793-4. PubMed ID: 16251334.
    Abstract:
    The effect on the nasopharyngeal flora of 7 days of amoxicillin-clavulanate or 5 days of 800 mg once a day was studied in 50 adults with acute sinusitis. The numbers of potential pathogens and interfering alpha-hemolytic streptococci were equally reduced after both therapies. However, the number of interfering Prevotella spp. declined more significantly after amoxicillin-clavulanate treatment.
