A Belgian multicentre in-vitro study of ofloxacin
In a large multicentre study, the susceptibility of 2171 bacterial isolates to ofloxacin and other antibiotics has been examined by the Kirby-Bauer method. Susceptibility to ofloxacin (breakpoint ⩽2 mg/1) was observed in 99·2% of 1104 strains Enterobacteriaceae,88·9% of 217 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 93·6% of 31 other Pseudomonas spp.,96·3% of 27 Acinetobacter calcoaceticus,99·2% of 118 Haemophilus influenzae,97·4% of 423 staphylococci,79·4% of 107 Streptococcus faecalis and 98·7% of 142 other streptococci. There was no relationship between resistance to ofloxacin and resistance to β-lactam antib... Mehr ...

There was no relationship between resistance to ofloxacin and resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides or other antibiotics tested within the same bacterial species.
