Abstract
We tested 4,507 microorganisms, from 15 Canadian medical centers, agai nst ciprofloxacin and several other antimicrobial agents to determine the in vitro susceptibilities. Overall, susceptibility of members of t he family Enterobacteriaceae to ciprofloxacin was 97%; Moraxella and H aemophilus spp. had susceptibilities of 98 and 99%, respectively; and P. aeruginosa and S. aureus had susceptibilities of 79 and 96%, respec tively.
