title: In vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing of different strains of Mycoplasma fermentans isolated from a variety of sources.
abstract: The in vitro susceptibilities to antibiotics of 24 strains of Mycoplasma fermentans (isolated from human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected AIDS patients, non-AIDS patients with acute respiratory disease, and tissue culture) were determined. MICs for 90% of the strains tested (micrograms per milliliter) were obtained for chloramphenicol (1.25), ciprofloxacin (0.078), clindamycin (0.078), doxycycline (0.625), erythromycin (> 10), gentamicin (> 10), levofloxacin (0.078), lincomycin (0.156), streptomycin (> 10), and tetracycline (0.625).
