The Eagle Effect Revisited: Efficacy of Clindamycin, Erythromycin, and Penicillin in the Treatment of Streptococcal Myositis
Abstract
We investigated the relative efficacies of penicillin, clindamycin, and erythromycin in a mouse model of myositis due to Streptococcus pyogenes. Penicillin was ineffective unless given at the time of bacterial injection, and treatment delays of 2 h reduced its efficacy such that survival was no better than that of untreated control animals (P less than .05). Survival of erythromycin-treated mice was greater than that of both penicillin-treated mice and untreated controls, but only if treatment was begun within 2 h. Mice receiving clindamycin, however, had survival rates of 100%, 100%, 80%, and 70% even if treatment was delayed 0, 2, 6, and 16.5 h, respectively. Thus, clindamycin demonstrated superior efficacy to penicillin among all the various treatment groups (P less than .05). Our results corroborate the failure of penicillin in this model of streptococcal infection and suggest that, unlike penicillin, the efficacy of clindamycin is not adversely altered by the "Eagle effect."

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
