Abstract
The activities of doxycycline, rifampin, chloramphenicol, and erythrom ycin against ELB rickettsiae (Rickettsia azadi) were determined by dye uptake and plaque assays. Plaque formation in Vero cells was inhibite d by 0.12 mu g of doxycycline per ml. The data presented demonstrate t he susceptibility of ELB rickettsiae to commonly used antibiotics for the treatment of rickettsial diseases.
