title: Bactericidal activities of various antimicrobial agents against human and animal isolates of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.
abstract: The MICs and MBCs of various antimicrobial agents for strains of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis isolated from animal and human sources were evaluated. The MICs and MBCs of rifabutin, ciprofloxacin, ethambutol, clofazimine, streptomycin, cefazolin, and amikacin were found to be well below therapeutic levels in serum and tissue.
