Sample Use Guides

In Vitro Use Guide

The activity of irloxacin was compared with that of nalidixic acid, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin against strains of clinical isolates. Irloxacin showed greater in vitro activity than nalidixic acid, similar activity to norfloxacin and lower activity than ciprofloxacin. Against Staphylococcus, the MIC range of irloxacin was 0.06-1 mg/l, better than the other compounds studied.
