Abstract  Moxifloxacin (Bay 12–8039), ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin were compared in vitro against 1074 clinical isolates gathered from different medical centers throughout North America during the winter months of 1997. Moxifloxacin E tests and broth microdilution tests gave comparable results. Moxifloxacin was particularly potent against respiratory pathogens such as Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Ciprofloxacin was the most potent study drug against the family of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas spp. For tests of 5 μg moxifloxacin disks, zone size criteria of ≤17 mm for resistant (MIC ≥8 μg/ml) and ≥21 mm for susceptible (MIC ≤2 μg/ml) are provisionally proposed for use while clinical trials are under way.
