The in-vitro activity of a new 8-methoxy-quinolone, Bay 12-8039, was assessed against 218 anaerobic bacteria. Ninety-eight per cent of strains belonging to the Bacteroides fragilis group (n = 65) were inhibited by < or = 2 mg/L of Bay 12-8039 whereas 97%, 94%, 94% and 100%, respectively, of Gram-negative bacilli (n = 93), non-sporing Gram-positive bacilli (n = 36), endospore-forming Gram-positive bacilli (n = 34) and Gram-positive cocci (n = 45) were also inhibited by < or = 2 mg/L. Eighty-three per cent of all anaerobes tested were inhibited by < or = 1 mg/L Bay 12-8039 and 99.5% by < or = 4 mg/L. When compared with ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, ofloxacin and trovafloxacin, Bay 12-8039 was more active than ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin, equipotent to trovafloxacin but not as active as clinafloxacin.
