In vitro comparison of A-56619, A-56620, amifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, norfloxacin, and ofloxacin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

چکیده
Seven quinolone antibiotics were tested against 115 isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The MICs for 90% of the strains tested were 0.5 microgram/ml for A-56619, A-56620, ciprofloxacin, and ofloxacin; 2.0 micrograms/ml for amifloxacin and enoxacin; and 4.0 micrograms/ml for norfloxacin. Killing kinetic studies showed a similar killing rate for all seven antibiotics.

In vitro activities of quinolones against enterococci resistant to penicillin-aminoglycoside synergy.
The MICs and MBCs of CI-934, ciprofloxacin, difloxacin (A-56619), A-56620, norfloxacin, enoxacin, amifloxacin, and coumermycin were determined for 43 clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecalis known to be resistant to penicillin-aminoglycoside synergy. Results were compared with those obtained for 37 synergy-susceptible E. faecalis and 22 Enterococcus faecium strains. Although no substantial di...
متن کاملComparison of in vitro activity of quinolone antibiotics and vancomycin against gentamicin- and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by time-kill kinetic studies.
Quinolone antibiotics have been proposed as possible alternatives to vancomycin for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections. We investigated the activities of amifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and vancomycin by time-kill kinetic studies. Antibiotic concentrations of 0, 1.0, and 4.0 times the MIC were used against four strains of gentamicin- and methicillin-resistant S. aur...
متن کاملIdentification of Streptococcus faecalis and Streptococcus faecium and susceptibility studies with newly developed antimicrobial agents.
Identification and susceptibility studies were performed on 301 blood and urine Streptococcus faecalis and Streptococcus faecium isolates. Strep Trio-Tubes S4, S5, and S3 (Carr-Scarborough Microbiologicals, Inc.) were compared with conventional methods for accuracy and rapidity. Of 282 isolates identified as S. faecalis, 98% were identified by species in 4 h with Trio-Tubes; the same percentage...
متن کاملIn vivo evaluation of A-56619 (difloxacin) and A-56620: new aryl-fluoroquinolones.
A-56619 and A-56620 are two new aryl-fluoroquinolones which are as potent as or more potent than norfloxacin when administered orally and subcutaneously in mouse protection tests against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. A-56619 and A-56620 were more potent than norfloxacin when administered orally against Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Serratia ...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Eikenella corrodens to newer and older quinolones.
The susceptibilities of 44 clinical strains and a reference strain (ATCC 23834) of Eikenella corrodens were determined by agar dilution. All isolates were very susceptible (MICs, less than 2 micrograms/ml) to amifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, difloxacin, enoxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and Win 35439.
