Abstract
The in vitro activity of ofloxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, doxyc yclin, erythromycin and roxithromycin was determined against 73 recent clinical strains of Chlamydia trachomatis isolated from genital infec tions. The MICs 90 % were: 0.4; 0.1; 1.6; 0.2, 1.6 and 0.1 mg/l respec tively. 100 % of strains were susceptible to ofloxacin, roxithromycin and doxycyclin. Erythromycin and ciprofloxacin had a lower in vitro ac tivity against C. trachomatis.
