Maintenance treatment with macrolide antibiotics has shown to be effective in reducing exacerbations COPD patients. A major concern prolonged is the development of bacterial resistance. In this study we determined effect azithromycin on and acquisition resistance macrolides nasopharyngeal flora
Abstract: Macrolides are effective in reducing the number of exacerbations COPD patients with frequent exacerbator phenotype. Our study did not show a persistent effect azithromycin on exacerbation frequencies after more than one year usage. Keywords: Macrolide, long-term, exacerbations, COPD, COLUMBUS

<b>Introduction:</b> Azithromycin maintenance therapy during one year resulted in a significant lower number of exacerbations as has been shown the Columbus study. The aim our current study is to investigate whether azithromycin treatment given for more than equal effective reducing exacerbation frequency. <b>Method:</b> This was retrospective cohort using data from Trial (N=92). In this we compared patients still receiving macrolide after finishing trial with who stopped treatment....
