Comparative susceptibilities of Campylobacter pylori to norfloxacin and other agents.
Twenty-one strains of Campylobacter pylori (Campylobacter pyloridis) were tested for susceptibility to norfloxacin and other agents by the serial agar dilution method. Ampicillin (MIC for 90% of isolates [MIC90], 0.016 micrograms/ml) and famotidine (MIC90, greater than 1,024 micrograms/ml) were, respectively, the most and the least active of the agents tested. Norfloxacin (MIC90, 1 microgram/ml) and imipenem (MIC90, 0.125 micrograms/ml) were substantially active against this organism.
