Comparative in vitro antimicrobial activities of the newly synthesized quinolone HSR-903, sitafloxacin (DU-6859a), gatifloxacin (AM-1155), and levofloxacin against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex.

We compared the in vitro antimycobacterial activity of a new fluoroquinolone, HSR-903, with strong activity against gram-positive cocci with those of levofloxacin (LVFX), sitafloxacin (STFX), and gatifloxacin (GFLX). The MICs of the quinolones for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex were in the order STFX approximately GFLX < LVFX <== HSR-903 and STFX <== GFLX <== HSR-903...

Comparative antimycobacterial activities of ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and grepafloxacin.

Infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria and multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis are difficult to treat. New compounds potentially active against these bacteria are therefore constantly being sought. Among them is grepafloxacin, a new C5 fluoroquinolone. A panel of 130 isolates of mycobacteria including 33 M. tuberculosis isolates and 97 isolates of different species of atyp...

In vitro antimycobacterial activities of newly synthesized benzoxazinorifamycins.

Newly synthesized rifamycin derivatives, KRM-1648, KRM-1657, KRM-1668, KRM-1686, and KRM-1687, having the chemical structures of 3'-hydroxy-5'-(4-alkylpiperazinyl)-benzoxazinorifamycins (alkyl residues: isobutyl, propyl, sec-butyl, sec-butyl [R configuration], and sec-butyl [S configuration], respectively), were studied for their in vitro antimycobacterial activities. Representative (KRM-1648) ...

In vitro activities of OPC-17116, a new quinolone; ofloxacin; and sparfloxacin against Chlamydia pneumoniae.

The in vitro susceptibilities of 12 strains of Chlamydia pneumonia to a new quinolone, OPC-17116; ofloxacin; and sparfloxacin were determined. OPC-17116 was slightly less active than sparfloxacin but more active than ofloxacin, with a MIC for 90% of strains tested and a minimal chlamydiacidal concentration for 90% of strains tested of 0.5 micrograms/ml.

Comparative antimicrobial activities of the newly synthesized quinolone WQ-3034, levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex.

WQ-3034 is a newly synthesized acidic fluoroquinolone. We assessed its in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. avium complex using levofloxacin (LVFX), ciprofloxacin (CPFX), sparfloxacin (SPFX), and KRM-1648 (KRM) as reference drugs. The MICs of these agents were determined by the agar dilution method with 7H11 medium. The MICs at which 50 and 90% of the test strains were in...
