Abstract
ABSTRACT
The activity of gatifloxacin against 308 aerobes and 112 anaerobes isolated from bite wound infections was studied. Gatifloxacin was active at ≤0.016 μg/ml against all 148
Pasteurella
isolates (eight species and three subspecies) tested and all other aerobes tested, including
Actinobacillus-Haemophilus
spp.,
Eikenella corrodens
,
Neisseria weaveri
,
Weeksella zoohelcum
, staphylococci, and streptococci. Fusobacteria were sometimes resistant. Gatifloxacin MICs at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited were 0.125 μg/ml against
Bacteroides tectum
and
Prevotella
spp., 0.25 μg/ml against
Porphyromonas
spp., and 0.5 μg/ml against peptostreptococci.
