In vitro activity of HSR-903, a new oral quinolone, against bacteria causing respiratory infections.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro activity of HSR-903, an oral quinolone, against 196 recent clinical isolates of respiratory pathogens was evaluated. HSR-903 was 2 to 32 times more active than ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sparfloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant strains, and Streptococcus pneumoniae and was at least as active as the other quinolones against gram-negative pathogens.

Synthesis 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...

The in vitro activity of the new fluoroquinolone HSR-903 was compared with those of ciprofloxacin, lomefloxacin, sparfloxacin, and levofloxacin. HSR-903 inhibited 90% of methicillin-susceptible and -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clinical isolates at 0.78 and 1.56 microg/ml, respectively, and its activity against MRSA was 16-fold higher than those of sparfloxacin and levofloxacin and 64...
متن کاملComparative 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...
