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

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
