The in vitro activity of telithromycin was compared with erythromycin A, azithromycin, clarithromycin, moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, penicillin G, ampicillin, cefuroxime and ceftriaxone against 336 consecutive strains (83 Streptococcus pneumoniae, 168 Haemophilus influenzae and 85 Moraxella catarrhalis) isolated from patients with community-acquired respiratory tract infections. Telithromycin (MIC90, 0.008 mg/l) was the most active drug against S. pneumoniae. Telithromycin was also highly active against M. catarrhalis (MIC90, 0.06 mg/l), but less active against H. influenzae (MIC90, 4 mg/l).
