Legionella: macrolides or quinolones? [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2006
Following the first outbreaks of legionnaire's disease, erythromycin emerged as the treatment of choice without the foundation of rigorous clinical trials. The number of therapeutic failures with erythromycin, as well as the side-effects and drug interactions, led to the consideration of other drugs such as the new macrolides and quinolones for the ...
