dc.descriptionThe aim of this study was to determine the in vitro activity of fluoroquinolones against clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis identified in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the highest number of new cases in this country. Accurate susceptibility data for the treatment of TB increases treatment success rates, while decreasing the spread of resistant strains and the rate of developing resistance to additional drugs. In this context, this study provides an important starting point by testing the susceptibility of M. tuberculosis to a class of drugs likely to be of increasing importance in treating TB infections.
