The susceptibility of 410 clinical bacterial isolates to RO 23-9424, a novel cephalosporin 3'-quinolone, was determined. Overall, 97% of Enterobacteriaceae and 100% of staphylococci were inhibited by < or = 8.0 mg/L of RO 23-9424. Only 60% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 80-90% of Pseudomonas spp. and Xanthomonas maltophilia were inhibited by this concentration. Enterococci and Listeria monocytogenes were resistant to RO 23-9424. Clinical isolates of Moraxella catarrhalis, Streptococcus spp., and Corynebacterium jekeium were all susceptible to < or = 8.0 mg/L of RO 23-9424. This drug's antimicrobial activity was superior to that of its two components fleroxacin and desacetylcefotaxime against the organisms tested. Using < or = 8.0 mg/L and > or = 32 mg/L respectively as the susceptible and resistant MIC breakpoints for RO 23-9424, the regression analysis-derived disc diffusion zone diameter breakpoints for the 30 micrograms disc are: susceptible > or = 19 mm, intermediate 16-18 mm, and resistant < or = 15 mm.
