Levofloxacin treatment failure in a patient with fluoroquinolone-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia.

Pharmacotherapy - 1 Mar 2002

Kays Michael B, Smith David W, Wack Matthew E, Denys Gerald A

Abstract excerpt

The frequency of fluoroquinolone-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae has increased as fluoroquinolone administration for treatment of respiratory tract infections has increased. Levofloxacin treatment failed in a patient who had pneumococcal pneumonia and had received three previous courses of levofloxacin therapy. Susceptibility testing revealed high-level resistance to levofloxacin (minimum inhibitory...
