  19. Telithromycin Selection of Antibiotic Resistance • Telithromycin does not induce MLSB resistance in pneumococci • In serial passage experiments, telithromycin was less efficient in selecting resistant mutants of pneumococci than azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, or clindamycin • Selection of resistant strains of viridans group streptococci and other usual oropharyngeal flora less efficient with telithromycin than azithromycin • Selection of resistant strains of viridans group streptococci and intestinal enterococci less efficient with telithromycin than clarithromycin

  20. Telithromycin • Ketolide antibiotic, derived from macrolides • Novel mechanism of action • Tailored activity against pathogens from community RTIs: common & atypicals • Excellent antipneumococcal activity: • leading organism in frequency and morbidity • includes activity against ERSP and PRSP • Short, simple course of treatment

  33. Summary of Human Pharmacology • PK of telithromycin have been well characterized, and are reproducible or predictable under various conditions • Telithromycin rapidly achieved targeted plasma and respiratory tissue concentrations • Multiple elimination pathways limit the potential for increased exposure in special populations. CYP3A4 metabolism accounts for a small fraction of total drug clearance • Similar inhibition of CYP3A4 to clarithromycin and erythromycin but for less time because of the short treatment duration
