Sitafloxacin: antimicrobial activity against ciprofloxacin-selected laboratory mutants of Mycoplasma genitalium and inhibitory activity against its DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.

Abstract excerpt

A sitafloxacin regimen is highly effective on Mycoplasma genitalium infections, including those caused by the mycoplasmas harboring mutant topoisomerase IV with a quinolone resistance-associated amino acid change in ParC. In this study, we evaluated sitafloxacin antimicrobial activities against M. genitalium, including the mycoplasmas with decreased susceptibilities to quinolones, by determining minimum...
