Abstract excerpt
The bactericidal effects of Q-35, sparfloxacin, tosufloxacin, and ofloxacin on 18 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and 3 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis were studied by a viable-count method. Staphylococci as used in this study were clearly divided into two groups with respect to their susceptibilities to sparfloxacin. MICs of Q-35 and tosufloxacin were 0.05 to 0.78 microgram/ml...
