The susceptibilities of L. pneumophila sg 1, L. pneumophila non-sg 1, total L. pneumophila, and non-L. pneumophila isolates to the eight tested antimicrobials are shown in Table 3. No differences were found between L. pneumophila sg 1 and non-sg 1 isolates for any of the eight antibiotics. In addition, no differences were found between L. pneumophila and non-L. pneumophila for six of the antibiotics (AZM, CIP, ERM, MIN, LEV, and MOX). In contrast, MIC values for CTX and DOC were significantly lower in non-L. pneumophila than in L. pneumophila isolates.
