To investigate whether or not the combined ultrasound and antibiotic treatment is effective against chlamydial infection, a new ultrasound exposure system was designed to treat chlamydia-infected cells. First, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics against Chlamydia trachomatis were determined. Infected cultures were treated with antibiotics then sonicated at intensity of 0.

We investigated the antimicrobial efficacy of clinically meaningful, low concentrations of azithromycin against intracellular growth of two clinical isolates of Legionella pneumophila. The mature monocytic cell line Mono Mac 6 was used as a model to investigate the effects of antimicrobial agents on L. pneumophila.
