We studied 97 patients (48 adults, 49 infants) with a respiratory tract infection (acute bronchitis or chronic bronchitis or in some cases pneumonia) and/or a bacterial pharyingitis or tonsillitis. Our aim was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a new antibiotic: Josamycin versus a first choice penicillin (ampicillin in adults, amoxycillin in infants). Josamycin has proved its efficacy in 92% of adults and in 83% of infants. The same results was obtained with ampicillin and amoxicillin. We observed no severe side effect.
