Abstract:
:The potential for resistance development in Streptococcus pneumoniae secondary to exposure to gatifloxacin, gemifloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin at various levels was examined at high inoculum (10(8.5) to 10(9) log10 CFU/ml) over 96 h in an in vitro pharmacodynamic (PD) model using two fluoroquinolone-susceptible isolates. The pharmacokinetics of each drug was simulated to provide a range of free areas under the concentration-time curves (fAUC) that correlated with various fluoroquinolone doses. Potential first (parC and parE)- and second-step (gyrA and gyrB) mutations in isolates with raised MICs were identified by sequence analysis. PD models simulating fAUC/MICs of 51 and
