Postantibiotic Effect of Trovafloxacin against Gram-Positive and -Negative Organisms

Abstract
Trovafloxacin pneumococcal and staphylococcal postantibiotic effects (PAEs) were 0.7 to 1.8 and 0.7 to 2.4 h, respectively. For Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa , PAEs were 2.4 to 4.4 h. Pneumococcal and staphylococcal postantibiotic sub-MIC effects (PA-SMEs) (0.4 times the MIC) were 2.3 to 3.7 and 2.4 to >9.2 h, respectively, and E. coli PA-SMEs (0.3 times the MIC) were 6.8 to >12.0 h. For one P. aeruginosa strain, the PA-SME (0.4 times the MIC) was >10 h; in the other, rapid bactericidal activity precluded measurement.
