Early and extended early bactericidal activity of levofloxacin, gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract

Moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, and high-dose levofloxacin have excellent EBA, only slightly less than for INH, and greater extended EBA. These drugs warrant further study in the treatment of drug-susceptible TB.
