Abstract

The in vitro activity of ofloxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, doxycyclin, erythromycin and roxithromycin was determined against 73 recent clinical strains of Chlamydia trachomatis isolated from genital infections. The MICs 90% were: 0.4; 0.1; 1.6; 0.2; 1.6 and 0.1 mg/l respectively. 100% of strains were susceptible to ofloxacin, roxithromycin and doxycyclin. Erythromycin and ciprofloxacin had a lower in vitro activity against C. trachomatis.
