Activities of telithromycin against 13,874 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates collected between 1999 and 2003.

abstract：:The capacity for intracellular growth is an important survival strategy for a large group of common pathogens. Helicobacter pylori, the etiological agent for gastritis and duodenal ulcer, has been shown by both in vivo and in vitro studies to have the capacity to invade epithelial cells. In vitro models are used to st...
