Vancomycin and Clarithromycin Show Synergy against Mycobacterium abscessus In Vitro.


ABSTRACT: Lung disease caused by Mycobacterium abscessus is increasing, and current clarithromycin-based treatment regimens are only moderately effective. Here, we determined the effect of clarithromycin-vancomycin combination against M. abscessus complex isolates in vitro Synergy was found with a fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) score of ?0.5 and a 4- to 10-fold decrease in MIC.
