In vitro susceptibilities of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis to four fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin, d-ofloxacin, ofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin), cefpirome, and meropenem.
The in vitro activities of levofloxacin, ofloxacin, d-ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, cefpirome, and meropenem against 34 clinical isolates each of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis were determined by agar dilution on Mueller-Hinton agar supplemented with 5% horse blood. Levofloxacin was as active as ciprofloxacin against both species (MIC, 0.06 microgram/ml) and more active than ofloxacin and d-ofloxacin. Cefpirome was more active against B. pertussis (MIC, 1.0 microgram/ml) than against B. parapertussis (MIC, > 2 micrograms/ml), while the reverse was true for meropenem (MIC, 2.0 micrograms/ml against B. pertussis and 1.0 microgram/ml against B. parapertussis).
