Abstract
ABSTRACTFinafloxacin is a novel fluoroquinolone that exhibits enhanced antibacterial activity under acidic conditions. The aim of this study was to define thein vitropH-activity relationship. Finafloxacin exhibited optimal antibacterial activity between pH 5.0 and 6.0 at which MICs were 4- to 8-fold lower than those determined at neutral pH. These observations were then confirmed against a larger collection of bacteria. These data suggest that finafloxacin could potentially offer a therapeutic advantage within acidic foci of infection.
