Abstract excerpt
We compared the antibacterial effects and the emergence of resistance to tosufloxacin or levofloxacin for Streptococcus pneumoniae by simulating the serum concentration according to the Japanese clinical regimens using an in vitro pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model. For quinolone-susceptible strain ATCC49619, tosufloxacin showed bactericidal activity, given that both the AUC(0-24h)/MIC ratios at the dosage of...
