The in vitro susceptibilities of 33 isolates of Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia psittaci to a new quinolone drug, garenoxacin (BMS-284756), in comparison with levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, erythromycin and roxithromycin, were determined. Garenoxacin was the most active of the quinolone drugs tested, with identical MIC and MBC, which ranged from 0.007 to 0.03 mg/L. The MIC and MBC of the other two quinolones tested, levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, were also identical, ranging from 0.25 to 2 mg/L. The MICs and MBCs of doxycycline, erythromycin and roxithromycin were also determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
