摘要: AbstractMinimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing measures the lowest drug that prevents microbial growth using an inoculum of 105 colony forming units/ml (cfu/ml) whereas mutant prevention (MPC) (inoculum ≍1010 cells) defines antimicrobial threshold would require organism to possess two simultaneous mutations for continued in presence drug. The rates at which multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae [MDRSP] were killed by respiratory fluoroquinolones, gatifloxacin, gemfloxacin, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, compared based on MIC MPC concentrations inocula ranging from 106-109 cfu/ml. failed eradicate all viable cells resulted 99.9% 100% cellular reduction following 12-24 hours exposure. values against S. different each fluoroquinolone. selection ...
