Abstract excerpt
The antibacterial activity of a new tetracyclic quinolone, No. 5290, against 25 strains of Staphylococcus aureus clinically isolated in Japan in 1988-1989 was determined. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of No. 5290 against both quinolone-susceptible (MIC: norfloxacin less than or equal to 6.25 micrograms/ml, ciprofloxacin less than or equal to 1.56 micrograms/ml) and 4 out of 5 norfloxacin- and...
