RESUMO
Fourteen isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae, 12 from clinically ill patients and 2 from subjectively healthy individuals from an area within a 400-km proximity of Gävle, Sweden, and strain IOL-207, originally from the eye of an Iranian child, were tested for susceptibilities to the antibiotics doxycycline and azithromycin. MICs and minimum chlamydiacidal concentrations were found to correlate well with values reported earlier by other investigators. In addition to MIC and minimum chlamydiacidal concentration testing, testing for the viability of C. pneumoniae after exposure to antibiotic concentrations as high as 50 mg/liter was carried out by passaging antibiotic-treated, infected cell cultures four times in the absence of antibiotics. It was found that all Chlamydia strains were viable after four passages, regardless of antibiotic concentration in the cell culture.
