MIC Summary for 257 clinical isolates of Ureaplasma species
| Drug | MIC range (μg/ml) | MIC50 (μg/ml) | MIC90 (μg/ml) | No. of resistant isolates (% resistance)a |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Levofloxacin | 0.125-32 | 0.5 | 2 | 13 (5) |
| Erythromycin | 0.125-128 | 1 | 2 | 3 (1) |
| Tetracycline | 0.016-128 | 0.5 | 32 | 87 (34) |
Resistance was defined using breakpoints published by the CLSI for Ureaplasma urealyticum (4). These breakpoints were ≥4 μg/ml for levofloxacin, ≥16 μg/ml for erythromycin, and ≥2 μg/ml for tetracycline.
