Inhibition of transfer of four conjugative R plasmids by ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and pipemidic acid was investigated in an Escherichia coli mating system. The absolute concentrations needed for inhibition of conjugation varied from 0.12 microgram/ml for ciprofloxacin to 16 micrograms/ml for pipemidic acid, but the relationship to the MICs for the parent strains was identical for all substrates. Concentrations for a 90% reduction of transconjugants were in the range of one to six times the MIC for the parent strains, which also had lethal effects on donors and recipients. A similar effect on conjugation was found with chloramphenicol. These observations question the specificity of transfer inhibition by quinolones and cast doubt on the clinical importance of such an effect.
在大肠杆菌交配系统中研究了环丙沙星、依诺沙星、诺氟沙星、氧氟沙星和吡哌酸对四种接合性R质粒转移的抑制作用。抑制接合所需的绝对浓度从环丙沙星的0.12微克/毫升到吡哌酸的16微克/毫升不等,但所有底物与亲本菌株的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)的关系是相同的。使转接合子减少90%的浓度范围是亲本菌株MIC的1至6倍,这对供体菌和受体菌也有致死作用。氯霉素对接合也有类似作用。这些观察结果对喹诺酮类药物转移抑制的特异性提出了质疑,并对这种作用的临床重要性产生怀疑。
