Relative potential for selection of fluoroquinolone-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains by levofloxacin: comparison with ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin and ofloxacin

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative potential of levofloxacin to select for resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in comparison with ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin and ofloxacin.
