- Abstract
The in-vitro susceptibilities of 28 strains each of Legionella pneumophila and Legionella longbeachae to 12 antibiotics were compared by an agar dilution technique. A limited comparison with disc testing was also performed. Most antibiotics were less active against L. longbeachae, although MICs of erythromycin, ciprofloxacin and rifampicin suggest potential clinical utility.
