| Popis: | The in vitro activity of gemifloxacin was compared to that of other quinolone and nonquinolone antimicrobials against 204 anaerobes by the agar dilution technique. The data indicate that gemifloxacin has a rather selective anaerobic activity. Most Peptostreptococcus, Porphyromonas , and Fusobacterium species are susceptible, while gemifloxacin's activity against other gram-negative anaerobes appears to be variable. |
