N2 - The MICs of HMR 3004 and HMR 3647: at which 90% of beta-lactamase- producing Haemophilus influenzae isolates were inhibited were 4 and 2 μg/ml, respectively. Both HMR 3004 and HMR 3647 were active against beta-lactamase- producing H. influenzae in a murine model of experimental pneumonia. As assessed by pulmonary clearance of H. influenzae, HMR 3004 was more effective (P < 0.05) than was azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, erythromycin A, pristinamycin, or HMR 3647 in this model.
