title: Correlation between disc potency and zone size in temafloxacin activity in vitro.
abstract: A multi-test disc potency evaluation of a new fluoroquinolone, temafloxacin, has been prepared in order to evaluate the variation of the zone dimension with the disc antibiotic concentration. A direct correlation between these parameters has been demonstrated. All pathogens have been isolated in hospitalized patients.
