Comparative in vitro activity of amifloxacin and five other fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agents and preliminary criteria for the disk susceptibility test

A L Barry et al. Eur J Clin Microbiol. 1987 Apr.

Abstract

Amifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone with a spectrum of activity similar to that of ofloxacin, pefloxacin, enoxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. For disk susceptibility tests, 10 micrograms amifloxacin disks are recommended with zone size interpretive standards of less than or equal to 16 mm and greater than or equal to 20 mm for the resistant and susceptible categories respectively.
