Abstract EN

Resistance to macrolides is rising in the USA and warrants careful consideration when confronted with a patient with suspected pneumonia in the urgent care clinic.

This case study exemplifies the potentially serious consequences of treatment failure following prescription of a macrolide for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.

Furthermore, the consequential treatment dilemmas currently faced by physicians are briefly discussed.
