Comparative bactericidal activity of four macrolides alone and combined with rifampicin or doxycycline against Rhodococcus equi at concentrations achievable in foals
Our study suggests that clarithromycin can be used either alone or with doxycycline and that its use in combination with rifampicin should be reconsidered. Nevertheless, further studies are required to assess the clinical efficacy and potential side effects of doxycycline in foals.
