Demonstration of the Broad-Spectrum In Vitro Activity of Finafloxacin against Pathogens of Biodefense Interest

Abstract

This study investigated the in vitro activity of finafloxacin against bacterial strain panels of the biodefense pathogens. Broth microdilution assays were performed at neutral and acidic pH to determine the effectiveness of the antibiotics under conditions typical of an intracellular environment. In all instances, finafloxacin demonstrated superior activity at low pH.
