  • Description: <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> By use of a time-kill methodology, the antipneumococcal activity of telithromycin was determined against macrolide-resistant <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae</jats:italic> isolates having mutations in the 23S rRNA gene and changes in the ribosomal proteins L4 and L22. Telithromycin had MICs ranging between 0.03 and 0.25 μg/ml and was bactericidal against four of seven strains after 24 h at two times the MIC. </jats:p>
