  • Title: Comparative activities of ciprofloxacin (Bay o 9867), norfloxacin, pipemidic acid, and nalidixic acid.
    Author: Muytjens HL, van der Ros-van de Repe J, van Veldhuizen G.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1983 Aug; 24(2):302-4. PubMed ID: 6227281.
    Abstract:
    An agar dilution method was used to measure the minimal inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin (Bay o 9867), norfloxacin, pipemidic acid, and nalidixic acid against 496 clinical isolates. Ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin were active against all species tested (90% minimal inhibitory concentrations less than or equal to 8 micrograms/ml), although ciprofloxacin was somewhat more active, e.g., against gram-positive cocci. Pipemidic acid and nalidixic acid were active against most of the members of the Enterobacteriaceae, but Klebsiella species and Providencia stuartii were only inhibited by a high concentration of nalidixic acid.
