We tested the propensity of three quinolones to select for resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae mutants by determining the mutant prevention concentration (MPC) against 100 clinical strains, some of which harbored mutations in type II topoisomerases. Compared with levofloxacin and gemifloxacin, moxifloxacin had the lowest number of strains with MPCs above the susceptibility breakpoint (P<0.001), thus representing a lower selective pressure for proliferation of resistant mutants. Only moxifloxacin gave a 50% MPC (MPC50) value (1 microg/ml) within the susceptible range.
我们通过测定 100 株临床分离株的突变预防浓度(MPC)来检测三种喹诺酮类药物选择耐药肺炎链球菌突变株的倾向性,这些分离株中有些含有 II 型拓扑异构酶突变。与左氧氟沙星和加替沙星相比,莫西沙星有更高比例的菌株 MPC 值高于药敏折点(P<0.001),这表明其对耐药突变株的选择压力更低。只有莫西沙星在敏感范围内(MPC50 值为 1μg/ml)得到 50% MPC 值。
