In vitro activities of tosufloxacin, temafloxacin, and A-56620 against pathogens of diarrhea.
Tosufloxacin (A-60969 HCl), a new quinolone with broad activity against gram-positive and anaerobic organisms, was compared in vitro with other quinolones against bacterial pathogens of diarrhea. Tosufloxacin was the most active agent against Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Campylobacter spp., Aeromonas hydrophila, and Vibrio spp. Temafloxacin (A-62254) also demonstrated good activity against these organisms.
