Activity of nine fluoroquinolones against strains of Bordetella bronchiseptica.
Thirty-two strains of Bordetella bronchiseptica were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibilities to nine fluoroquinolones. The most active agents were fleroxacin, temafloxacin, ciprofloxacin (MIC90 1 microg/ml), ofloxacin, lomefloxacin and enoxacin (MIC90 2 microg/ml). Pefloxacin and norfloxacin were active only against 59.3 and 83.1%, respectively, of the strains tested, whereas rufloxacin lacked activity against all the strains of B. bronchiseptica tested.
