Abstract

ABSTRACT The in vitro activity of nemonoxacin (TG-873870), a novel nonfluorinated quinolone, was tested against 2,440 clinical isolates. Nemonoxacin was at least fourfold more active than levofloxacin and moxifloxacin against most gram-positive cocci tested (shown by the following MIC 90 /range [μg/ml] values; community-associated methicillin [meticillin]-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , 0.5/0.015 to 2; Staphylococcus epidermidis , 0.5/0.015 to 4 for methicillin-susceptible staphylococci and 2/0.12 to 2 for methicillin-resistant staphylococci; Streptococcus pneumoniae , 0.015/≤0.008 to 0.25; Enterococcus faecalis , 1/0.03 to 128). Nemonoxacin activity against gram-negative bacilli was similar to levofloxacin and moxifloxacin (MIC 90 /range [μg/ml]; Escherichia coli , 32/≤0.015 to ≥512; Klebsiella pneumoniae , 2/≤0.015 to 128; K . oxytoca , 0.5/0.06 to 1; Proteus mirabilis , 16/0.25 to ≥512; Pseudomonas aeruginosa , 32/≤0.015 to ≥512; Acinetobacter baumannii , 1/0.12 to 16).
