title: The Therapeutic Role of Macrolides and Ketolides: Not Just Antibacterials.
abstract: The 6th International Conference on Macrolides, Azalides, Streptogramins, Oxazolidinones and Ketolides was held this year in Bologna, Italy, January 24­25, 2002. While oxazolidinones were featured in only one presentation, there were many presentations on the azalide azithromycin. There were also presentations on other macrolides (clarithromycin) and ketolides (telithromycin and ABT-773), and a few presentations on streptogramins. Several stimulating and well-attended workshops, as well as special symposia, made it an interesting and worthwhile meeting. (c) 2002 Prous Science. All rights reserved.
