Abstract
The MICs of pristinamycin for genital pathogens were compared with those of ampicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin. Pristinamycin was active against all the strains studied. Because of this activity and its lack of toxicity, pristinamycin might be a valuable therapeutic agent for treating major sexually transmitted diseases.
