Abstract
Levofloxacin bactericidal activity was compared to ciprofloxacin and o floxacin against 10 strains of Moraxella catarrhalis. The cidal action (by kill-curve analysis) was slightly more rapid for levofloxacin, bu t all tested fluoroquinolones were considered bactericidal for all str ains tested, including those producing BRO-1 and 2 beta-lactamases.
