Comparative susceptibility of Mycoplasma pneumoniae to erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, and lomefloxacin

G H Cassell et al. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 1989 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Lomefloxacin was found to be comparable to ciprofloxacin in its ability to inhibit the in vitro growth of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MIC range 2-8 mcg/ml), but it was significantly less active than erythromycin. Although 30 different strains from widely differing geographic areas and isolation time periods were examined, no macrolide-resistant strains were observed.
