Macrolide resistance and treatment failure: Types of studies Test of develop- ment of R in individual strains Retrospective studies - single cases of failures (+) if collected - studies of failures (vs. Succ./case contr.) - Prospective studies + Following strains/clinical evaluation Pre->< during >< Post-study strains Experimental/analytical prospective +/- Eg. Study R-developm. Under ab. Pressure in vitro similar to in vivo, compare strains NF-M, Brussels 2001

Macrolide resistance and treatment failure: Types of macrolides Macrolide Bacterial sp. Type of infection S. aureus, S. pneu., Otitis, tonsillitis, Erythromycin S. pyog., P. acnes impetigo, acne H. pylori Duodenal/ventricular Clarithromycin ulcer S. pneu., S. pyog.

Macrolide resistance and treatment failure: Acute otitis media Dagan et.al. AAC 2000, 44: 43-50 • Azithromycin - 10 mg/kg OD for 3 days • S. pneumoniae: 5/17 (29%) failure all 5 ery-resistant (MIC>32) (+ one resistant S. pneu superinfection) NF-M, Brussels 2001

Macrolide resistance and treatment failure: Conclusion • Resistance towards macrolides leading to clinical failure has been reported in • Staphylococci, pneumococci, Gr.A strep., P. acnes, atyp. Mycobacteria, treponemes and Helicobacter • In URTI, skin infections, duodenal ulcer etc. • With erythromycin, clarithromycin and azithromycin NF-M, Brussels 2001
