Abstract/Text
Fourteen-membered macrolides (e.g. clarithromycin and erythromycin), but not 16-membered macrolides (e.g. josamycin), are effective in diffuse panbronchiolitis. However, there are no studies that have compared the effects of 14- and 16-membered macrolide antibiotics on biofilm formation. Treatment with high-dose clarithromycin (100 mg/kg) resulted in a significant decrease in the number of viable bacteria in an experimental murine model. Josamycin at a dose of up to 100 mg/kg had no effect on the number of viable bacteria in the lung. Our results may explain, at least in part, the clinical efficacy of 14-membered macrolide antibiotics in patients with chronic pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
