Figure 2. . MICs of azithromycin in relation to ciprofloxacin susceptibility of 354 Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhi and Paratyphi isolates. Increased MICs for azithromycin (MIC>16 μg/mL) in isolates with decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility or ciprofloxacin resistance (MIC>0.125 μg/mL) versus ciprofloxacin-susceptible isolates (MIC<0.125 μg/mL) (p = 0.004).
