MBCs of fluoroquinolones were determined for a subgroup of 12 isolates. Macrolides were the most potent agents with MIC(90)s for all drugs less than or equal to 0.001 mg/l. The doxycycline MIC90 was 0.5 mg/l. Gemifloxacin MICs ranged from less than or equal to 0.001 to 0.25 mg/l. The gemifloxacin MIC90 (0.125 mg/l) was equivalent to moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin, was 2-fold lower than sparfloxacin, 8-fold lower than levofloxacin and 32-fold lower than ciprofloxacin. MBCs for gemifloxacin were predominantly within 2-4 times the corresponding MIC values, indicating a bactericidal effect. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. and the International Society of Chemotherapy.
