Abstract excerpt
An in vitro pharmacodynatnic modeling apparatus (PDMA) generated specific bacterial kill profiles for single-dose regimens of gatifloxacin (GT), gemifloxacin (GM), moxifloxacin (MX) and levofloxacin (LV) against isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae with specific QRDR profiles: SP-WT (no modifications); SP-C (changes in parC); and SP-AC (changes in both parC and gyrA). No differences in 3-log reduction time or...
