Abstract

The in vitro antibacterial activity of quinolone compounds was assessed on strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical infections. The bactericidal effect of quinolones was high and their respective antibacterial properties with adriamycin remained unimpaired on strains both sensitive and resistant to betalactam and aminoglycoside antibiotics. The cytotoxic effect of the combination of adriamycin and quinolones was determined in cultured P388 leukemia cells: no interference with the cytotoxic activity of adriamycin was observed.
