Treatment of M. caterrahlis infection:
M. catarrhalisrapidly acquired -lactamases during the 1970s and 1980s; antimicrobial susceptibility patterns have remained relatively stable since that time, with >90% of strains now producing -lactamase and thus resistant to amoxicillin.
Most strains of M. catarrhalisare susceptible to amoxicillin and clavulanic acid combination, extended-spectrum cephalosporins, newer macrolides (azithromycin, clarithromycin), trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole, and fluoroquinolones.
