Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the activity of five different fluoroquinolones against 22 epidemiologically related and unrelated strains of Staphylococcus aureus (13 methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains and nine methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) strains) in which the mechanisms of quinolone resistance are also investigated. METHODS: The MICs of the different fluoroquinolones were determined by the microdilution method, in the...
