Abstract excerpt
Kill-curve bactericidal assays over 24 hours were determined for garenoxacin, a novel des-F(6) quinolone, and levofloxacin at achievable serum drug concentrations ranging from 2 to 8 microg/mL. Tested strains included 4 wild type and 2 target quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) mutant Streptococcus pneumoniae. Garenoxacin was 16-fold to 32-fold more active than levofloxacin, and mutant strains (3 QRDR...
