Abstract

The activity of ciprofloxacin was evaluated against 1,204 isolates freshly isolated in Southern Europe, including 193 isolates of 10 species never studied before. Ciprofloxacin proved more active than other quinolones and very active in absolute terms against the 10 new species and showed against the other species an activity close to that reported for isolates from other geographic areas.
