The activity of ofloxacin was determined against 117 Enterobacteriaceae, 13 Acinetobacter var, anitratus, 124 Pseudomonas aeruginosa in comparison with other antibiotics. Its activity was very high: against Enterobacteriaceae the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)50 was 0.125 micrograms/ml, the MIC90 1 micrograms/ml, and the geometric mean (GM) was 0.4 micrograms/ml against Acinetobacter var. anitratus the MIC50 1 micrograms/ml, MIC90 4 micrograms/ml, GM 1.7 micrograms/ml. Unlike other authors we found that the activity of ofloxacin was influenced by the selection of P. aeruginosa resistant to carbenicillin and gentamicin.
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.
