Comparative Study
In vitro susceptibilities of Mycoplasma hominis to six fluoroquinolones as determined by E test
Antimicrob Agents Chemother.
1999 Oct.
Abstract
Twenty isolates of Mycoplasma hominis were tested for their susceptibility to six fluoroquinolones by the E test. The MICs at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited (in micrograms per milliliter) were as follows: sparfloxacin, 0.031; clinafloxacin, moxifloxacin, and trovafloxacin, 0.063; levofloxacin, 0.25; and ciprofloxacin, 0.5. Increasing the amount of inoculum or incubation in CO(2) elevated MICs by </=1 dilution. E tests produce fluoroquinolone MICs comparable to those obtained by agar and microbroth dilution for M. hominis.
