Identification and Determination of Antibiotic Susceptibilities of <i>Brucella</i> Strains Isolated from Patients in Van, Turkey by Conventional and Molecular Methods

Abstract

Currently recommended antibiotics for the treatment of brucellosis such as doxycycline, rifampin, streptomycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin were found to be still effective. While our results showed that tigecycline can be used an alternative agent in the treatment of brucellosis, azithromycin has not been confirmed as an appropriate agent for the treatment.
