Antibiotic therapy tularemia

Antibiotic therapy is highly effective in treating tularemia and significantly reduces fatalities, including drugs such as streptomycin, gentamicin, doxycycline. 

Plague pneumonia is almost always fatal if treatment is not initiated within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. A number of readily available, broad-spectrum antibiotics have shown efficacy. Specific broad-spectrum antibiotics are also recommended for post-exposure treatment against tularemia and Q fever. A licensed trivalent equine antitoxin available from CDC is the only approved therapy for airborne botulism.
