BACTERIOSTATIC ACTIVITY OF SPARFLO® IN VITRO ON MYCOBACTERIA TUBERCULOSIS WITH VARIOUS SPECTRUM OF DRUG RESISTANCE
Abstract
Sparflo® – comparably new antimycobacterial agent of fluoroquinolone group produced by «Dr Reddy´s Laboratory´s Ltd» (India). Sparflo® may be applied in perspective for treatment of multiand extended drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR and XDR TB). But it´s necessary to know the main farmacologic data of morbidity agent and first of all, its drug sensitivity to Sparflo®.
Article is devoted to the in vitro study of minimal inhibitory concentrations (mcg/ml) and the levels of bacteriostatic activity of Sparflo® in 200 strains of mycobacteria tuberculosis picked out from new detected tuberculosis patients and patients under suspicion on relapse who have various spectrum of drug resistance. These data may help to select strains with the most proper levels of drug resistance.
