Minimum inhibitory concentrations of erythromycin and other antibiotics for Czech strains of Bordetella pertussis

Original language description

Aim of the study: To test the susceptibility to first-line and alternative antibiotics of 70 Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) strains recovered from patients with whooping cough through national pertussis surveillance in the Czech Republic (CR) in 1967-2010. Material and methods: The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of erythromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and co-trimoxazole were tested by the reference agar dilution method on Bordet-Gengou agar with 15 % defibrinated sheep blood. Results: Each of the 70 study strains was inhibited by two concentrations of erythromycin and azithromycin (0.06 and 0.12 mg/l) and by three concentrations of clarithromycin (0.03, 0.06, and 0.12 mg/l), with the highest concentration of the MICrange being 0.12 mg/l for all these similar antibiotics. Tested in a 2-fold geometric dilution series, the concentration of erythromycin required to inhibit 90 % of the study strains (MIC90) was one dilution step lower (0.06 mg/l) than t
