title: Comparative activities of telithromycin (HMR 3647), levofloxacin, and other antimicrobial agents against human mycoplasmas.
abstract: The activities of telithromycin and levofloxacin against 99 mycoplasma strains were compared to those of several macrolides, ofloxacin, and doxycycline. Telithromycin MICs of </=0.25 microgram/ml were found for all isolates, except for Mycoplasma hominis, while levofloxacin was active at concentrations of </=1 microgram/ml against all species studied.
