Abstract | |
As the fluoroquinolones are novel anti-tuberculosis drugs to be used in multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-tb), minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC's) of ofloxacin , levofloxacin and norfloxacin were investigated by radiometric proporsion method in 20 MDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tuberculosis) strains. MIC50 and MIC90 values of ofloxacin, levofloxacin and norfloxacin were found to be as 1μg/ml , 0.5 μg/ml , 5 μg/ml and 2μg/ml, 1 μg/ml, 10 μg/ml respectively. MIC values of levofloxacin were more lower than ofloxacin but the highest MIC values were obtained in norfloxacin. As a result, we concluded that ofloxacin and levofloxacin can be used as alternative drugs in the treatment of MDR-tb caused by the strains isolated from our laboratory. |
