Abstract

The in vitro activity of lomefloxacin, a new difluorinated quinolone antimicrobial was compared to comparative agents against organisms causing sexually transmitted diseases. Against Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Haemophilus ducreyi, lomefloxacin exhibited MIC90 of 2.0, 8.0, 8.0, less than or equal to 0.015, and 0.003 micrograms/ml, respectively. Overall, the lomefloxacin activity was very similar to ciprofloxacin.
