چکیده

The in vitro activities of moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, imipenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, clindamycin, and metronidazole against 900 surgical isolates were determined using NCCLS testing methods. Moxifloxacin exhibited good to excellent antimicrobial activity against most aerobic (90.8%) and anaerobic (97.1%) microorganisms, suggesting that it may be effective for the treatment of polymicrobial surgical infections.

Clinical efficacy and correlation of clinical outcomes with in vitro susceptibility for anaerobic bacteria in patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections treated with moxifloxacin.

BACKGROUND Appropriate antimicrobial therapy results in improved clinical outcomes in complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs). Recent in vitro studies have reported increasing moxifloxacin resistance of Bacteroides species, thereby cautioning empiric use in infections with these organisms. METHODS This pooled analysis of 4 randomized clinical trials (2000-2010) evaluated the comparativ...
