Empiric Azithromycin in COVID-19 Impacts the Respiratory Microbiome and Antimicrobial Resistome without Anti-inflammatory Benefit

2025-06-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Azithromycin is often prescribed unnecessarily for respiratory infections, many of which are viral. During the COVID-19 pandemic, its use was widespread, in part due to alleged therapeutic benefits, which have since been disproven. Here, we sought to understand the impact of azithromycin exposure on the respiratory microbiome, antimicrobial resistome, and host immune response in a pro...
