    Author: Gesu GP, Marchetti F, Piccoli L, Cavallero A.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2003 Feb; 47(2):816-9. PubMed ID: 12543701.
    Abstract:
    Levofloxacin showed comparable in vitro susceptibility to ciprofloxacin among Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, enterococci, and Staphylococcus aureus, while greater susceptibility was observed in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Staphylococcus epidermidis, mainly when oxacillin resistant. The susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to levofloxacin reached 99%.
