Abstract
The in vitro susceptibilities of 12 strains of Chlamydia pneumoniae to a new quinolone, trovafloxacin, and ofloxacin, doxycycline, erythromy cin, and azithromycin were determined. The activity of trovafloxacin w as similar to that of ofloxacin, with a MIC at which 90% of the isolat es are inhibited and a minimal concentration at which 90% of the isola tes are killed of 1.0 mu g/ml, but trovafloxacin was less active than doxycycline, erythromycin, and azithromycin.
