Clarithromycin is one of the antibiotics used to kill MAP infections. That is now quite an old study, have you found any follow ups?

What I found interesting is that they checked fo ecoli antibodies and those who tested positive showed better response, I think that's a pretty good idea for those wanting to try get into the SSI trial but having second guesses whether or not to do it.
