This timely reference addresses the important aspects of the chemistry of the macrolides, azalides, and
streptogramins; illustrates how the compounds are related; and details what structural changes are essential to achieve improved antibacterial activity and pharmacology.;Explains the in vitro activity of the new agents and compounds them to other compounds used to treat outpatient infections. Presenting the proceeding of the first international conference on the topic, The New Macrolides, Azalides, and Streptogramins discusses the intracellular activity of azalides and new macrolides against Chlamydia,
Staphyloccus aureus,
Listeria monocytogenes, Legionella species, etc., demonstrates the
