In vitro activities of the ketolide HMR 3647 against recent gram-positive clinical isolates and Haemophilus influenzae.
The ketolide HMR 3647 (previously RU 66647) was evaluated against 2, 563 recent clinical isolates of gram-positive pathogens and 200 Haemophilus influenzae isolates. HMR 3647 was active against macrolide-resistant streptococci, including pneumococci, but was not active against macrolide- or lincosamide-resistant staphylococci. Against H. influenzae, the potency of HMR 3647 was similar to that of azithromycin.
