Antimicrobial susceptibility and impact of macrolide antibiotics on Moraxella catarrhalis in the upper and lower airways of children with chronic endobronchial suppuration.

CONCLUSION: Despite the frequent use of macrolides, few macrolide-resistant isolates were detected. This suggests a fitness cost associated with macrolide resistance in M. catarrhalis. Macrolide antibiotics remain an effective choice for treating M. catarrhalis lower airway infection in children with chronic endobronchial suppuration.
