title: [In vitro activity of nitroxoline on urogenital mycoplasmas].
abstract: The product nitroxoline was studied in vitro for its activity towards Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. In view of the low MIC values obtained, it seems nitroxoline could be used in the treatment of urinary infections. It is bactericidal, and should not produce resistant strains.
