Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinical outcome [ Time Frame: varies ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • PK/PD pharmacoeconomics [ Time Frame: varies ]

Enrollment: 200
Study Start Date: December 2005
Study Completion Date: March 2006
Arms Assigned Interventions
1 All macrolide antibiotics Drug: all macrolide antibiotics
Varies based on antibiotic
2 All beta lactam antibiotics Drug: all beta-lactam antibiotics
Varies based on antibiotic

Detailed Description:

To document and describe the clinical, microbiological, and pharmacoeconomic outcomes of two hundred patients who failed to respond to outpatient macrolide or beta-lactam therapy. Evaluable patients must have a positive culture obtained after they failed their initial macrolide or beta-lactam. The isolated pathogen must have a known MIC to the antibiotic class they failed to respond to (i.e. macrolide or b-lactam). The isolate must be available to be sent to the central laboratory for MIC testing

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   up to 95 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients who have failed to respond to at least three (ABECB and CAP) or five (AMS/ABRS/AECRS) days of macrolide or b-lactam therapy meeting all of the protocol criteria for acute bacterial exacerbations on chronic bronchitis(ABECB), community acquired pneumonia(CAP) and acute maxillary sinusitis(AMS) will be eligible for enrollment. All patients, whether enrolled retrospectively or concurrently, must have a positive culture. The pathogenic bacteria must be identified by a local laboratory and have a known susceptibility to the antibiotic class the patient failed to respond to (i.e. macrolide or b-lactam). The isolate must be sent to the Study Coordinating Center for precise MIC determination.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients presenting with any of the following will not be included in the study:

  1. Life expectancy <3 months from underlying disease
  2. Underlying lung carcinoma
  3. Cystic fibrosis
