[Efficacy of some new antibiotics in treating experimental brucellosis].

Abstract

Brucella pathogens are highly susceptible in vitro to pefloxacin, lomefloxacin, meropenem and azithromycin. High efficacy of these drugs was demonstrated for experimental brucellosis treatment, azithromycin being the most active. Meropenem and azithromycin implementation resulted in more rapid and full normalization of the bactericidial and energy systems of the experimental animals peripheral blood cells.
