| Abstract | MIC and time-kill methods were used to test the activities of DU-6859a, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, cefotaxime, imipenem, and vancomycin against nine penicillin-susceptible, -intermediate, and -resistant pneumococci. The MIC of penicillin for penicillin-susceptible strains was 0.016 micrograms/ml, those for intermediate strains were 0.25 to 1.0 microgram/ml, and those for resistant strains were 2.0 to 4.0 micrograms/ml. Of the four quinolones tested, DU-6859a had the lowest MIC (0.064 micrograms/ml), followed by sparfloxacin (0.25 to 0.5 micrograms/ml) and levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin (both 1.0 to 4.0 micrograms/ml). Vancomycin inhibited all strains at MICs of 0.25 to 0.5 micrograms/ml. The MICs of imipenem and cefotaxime for penicillin-susceptible, -intermediate, and -resistant strains were 0.004 to 0.008, 0.008 to 0.032, and 0.25 micrograms/ml and 0.016, 0.125 to 0.5, and 2.0 micrograms/ml, respectively. DU-6859a was bactericidal at eight times the MICs (0.5 micrograms/ml) for seven of the nine strains after 4 h and bactericidal for all nine strains after 6 h at eight times the MICs and after 12 h at two times the MICs. By comparison, sparfloxacin, the next most active quinolone, was uniformly bactericidal at two times the MICs only after 24 h, with little activity after 2 h. Levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were bactericidal against all strains after 12 h at eight times the MICs and against all strains at 24 h at four times the MICs. Imipenem was bactericidal against all strains, at concentrations exceeding the MICs, after 24 h. Cefotaxime was also uniformly bactericidal only after 24 h of incubation at two times the MICs. Vancomycin, despite having uniformly low MICs for all strains irrespective of their penicillin susceptibility, was uniformly bactericidal only at two times the MICs after 24 h. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
