The antimicrobial activity of moxifloxacin and seven other antibiotics (four of them quinolones) against 292 strains of obligately anaerobic bacteria was assessed employing a broth microdilution technique performed in Wilkens-Chalgren broth. MIC50/MIC90 values (mg/l) for moxifloxacin were as follows: Bacteroides fragilis (n = 62) 0.25/2, Bacteroides ovatus (n = 70) 1/4, Bacteroides vulgatus (n = 29) 0.25/1, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (n = 17) 2/2, Bacteroides caccae (n = 11) 1/2, Prevotella spp. (n = 11) 0.25/2, Fusobacterium spp. (n = 17) 1/4, Bilophila wadsworthia (n = 29) 0.5/1, and Clostridium spp. (n = 29) 0.125/0.5, respectively. MIC50 values (mg/l) for Bacteroides distasonis (n = 8) and Peptostreptococcus spp. (n = 9) were 0.25. The results indicated that moxifloxacin was almost as active as trovafloxacin, as active as gatifloxacin, and more active than levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin against the anaerobes tested.
