چکیده
The antimicrobial activities of garenoxacin and eight other antibiotics against 641 anaerobic isolates were evaluated with the NCCLS agar dilution method. Overall, the MICs of garenoxacin for 50 and 90% of the strains tested (in micrograms per milliliter) were as follows: Bacteroides fragilis group, 0.5 and 2; Prevotella spp., 0.25 and 2; Fusobacterium spp., 0.25 and 0.5; Porphyromonas spp., 0.125 and 0.25; Bilophila wadsworthia, 0.5 and 1; Veillonella spp., 0.25 and 0.5; Clostridium spp., 0.25 and 1; Clostridium difficile, 2 and >64; Bifidobacterium spp., 1 and 2; Eggerthella lenta, 0.25 and 1; Propionibacterium spp., 0.5 and 0.5; gram-positive cocci, 0.125 and 0.25.

متن کاملIn vitro antibacterial activity of DX-619, a novel des-fluoro(6) quinolone.
The in vitro activities of DX-619, des-fluoro(6) quinolone, against 1,208 clinical isolates were examined. DX-619 was particularly potent against staphylococci, including ciprofloxacin- and methicillin-resistant strains; the MIC at which 90% of the strains tested were inhibited was 0.5 microg/ml. In addition, DX-619 was also active against gram-negative bacteria.
متن کاملSynthesis of new piperazinyl quinolones and investigation of their in vitro antibacterial activities
Quinolone antibacterial agents are currently used for the treatment of various bacterial infections. The nature of functional group at the 7 position of the quinolone ring system is known to have strong influence on the spectrum and extent of in vitro antibacterial activity. Accordingly, a series of N-L2- oxo-2-(2- furyl) and N-[2- oxyimino (2- furyl) ethyl] piperazinyl quinolone derivatives...
