'''WHO statement 2015'''<br>
Treatment with common antibiotics such as ''tetracyclines, gentamycin or streptomycin are efficient on human plague'' but their efficacy depends on early detection. When this is the case, case fatality can be reduced from 60% to less than 15% for bubonic plague. This is especially important for the pneumonic form, which is highly contagious, can kill in less than 24 hours, and is invariably fatal in the absence of treatment.
 
'''WHO statement 2017'''<br>
''Pneumonic plague'' can be fatal within 18 to 24 hours of disease onset if left untreated, but ''common antibiotics for enterobacteria'' (gram negative rods) can effectively cure the disease if they are delivered early.
