    Author: Fernandes CJ, Munro R, Toohey M, Shanker S, Mallon R, Daley D, Harland GS, Stevens DA, Wilson RD, Ackerman VP.
    Journal: Pathology; 1986 Apr; 18(2):240-2. PubMed ID: 3093961.
    Abstract:
    Antibacterial activity of enoxacin was evaluated against more than 3,700 clinical isolates using the agar-dilution method and an inoculum of 10(4)-10(5) cells per site. For comparison other antibiotics appropriate for each species were also included. For most enterobacteria and for Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the MIC90 of enoxacin was below 2 mg/l. Serratia marcescens was more resistant; the MIC90 being 4 mg/ml. Enoxacin also showed high activity against Campylobacter jejuni and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Streptococci were comparatively resistant, 32 mg/l to 64 mg/l of the compound being required to inhibit 90% of strains.
