Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from 104 south Indian patients, including 52 sensitive to Streptomycin (S), Isoniazid, (H) and Rifampicin (R), and 52 resistant to SHR/HR were tested for their in vitro susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin and Ofloxacin on Lowenstein-Jensen medium. The geometric mean for minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Ciprofloxacin was 2.00 mcg/ml for sensitive strains and 2.17 mcg/ml for resistant strains, the overall mean being 2.08 mcg/ml. Considering Ofloxacin, the MICs for the different categories of strains were again similar, there being no difference between sensitive and resistant strains, the geometric means being 2.00 and 2.05 mcg/ml, respectively.
