In-vitro antimicrobial activity of HSR-903, a new fluoroquinolone, against clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with quinolone resistance-associated alterations in GyrA and ParC

The in-vitro antimicrobial activity of HSR-903, a new fluoroquinolone, was tested against 51 clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates in comparison with ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and sparfloxacin. The MICs of HSR-903 for 11 isolates with alterations in both GyrA and ParC, for 19 isolates with alterations only in GyrA and for 21 isolates without alterations in either GyrA or ParC ranged from 0.03 mg/L to 1.0 mg/L (MIC 90 = 0.25 mg/L), from 0.03 mg/L to 0.5 mg/L (MIC 90 = 0.125 mg/L) and from
