Azithromycin effectiveness against intracellular infections of Francisella

BMC Microbiology

Table 1 Az Disk Inhibition Assay with Francisella strains.

Bacterial Strains	Antibiotic Zone of Inhibition (mm) (Disc is 6 mm)	p-value
F. tularensis LVS	6.0 ± 0	----
F. novicida	28.7 ± 0.7	<0.001
F. philomiragia	21.7 ± 0.8	<0.001
F. tularensis NIH B38	45.9 ± 6.2	<0.001
F. tularensis Schu S4	25.5 ± 1.9	<0.001

15 μg Az discs (Fluka) were placed on the agar and the zone of inhibition was measured. P-value was calculated compared to F. tularensis LVS.
