A derivative of quinolinecarboxylic acid, ciprofloxacin (BAY o 9867) was found to be an effective bactericidal agent against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. A bactericidal effect was achieved immediately after the addition of ciprofloxacin. At a concentration of 0.5 micrograms/ml, culture viability was reduced from 5 X 10(5) to about 5 X 10(3) CFU/ml within 15 min, and at 0.1 micrograms/ml, a greater than 10-fold reduction in viability resulted during the first hour after exposure. This bactericidal activity observed during the lag phase in Mueller-Hinton broth was also demonstrated in a nongrowing system. The antibiotics used in comparative studies, i.e., tobramycin, aztreonam, cefotaxime, and azlocillin, did not show this initial bactericidal activity, and ciprofloxacin prevented culture regrowth at lower concentrations. Staphylococcus aureus was not as susceptible to ciprofloxacin; killing occurred at a concentration of 0.5 micrograms/ml only after the onset of exponential growth in the control culture. Synergistic interactions were observed with ciprofloxacin in combination with tobramycin and azlocillin against P. aeruginosa and with cefotaxime and tobramycin against E. coli.
