In vitro activity of nine fluoroquinolone antibiotics against 200 strains of enterococci

The in vitro activity of nine fluoroquinolones against 200 recent clinical isolates of enterococci was evaluated. The relative activity was WIN57273 > sparfloxacin > ciprofloxacin, temafloxacin 〉 ofloxacin > fleroxacin, lomefloxacin, norfloxacin > enoxacin. Susceptibility to gentamicin o...

Zusammenfassung:	The in vitro activity of nine fluoroquinolones against 200 recent clinical isolates of enterococci was evaluated. The relative activity was WIN57273 > sparfloxacin > ciprofloxacin, temafloxacin 〉 ofloxacin > fleroxacin, lomefloxacin, norfloxacin > enoxacin. Susceptibility to gentamicin or streptomycin did not influence the activity of the fluoroquinolones.
