Investigation of the MICs of fidaxomicin and other antibiotics against Hungarian Clostridium difficile isolates
The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro activities of fidaxomicin and other antibiotics against 188 Clostridium difficile strains collected from different centers of Hungary. C. difficile isolates showed minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range for fidaxomicin of </=0.008-0.5 mg/L,...

| Summary: | The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro activities of fidaxomicin and other antibiotics against 188 Clostridium difficile strains collected from different centers of Hungary. C. difficile isolates showed minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range for fidaxomicin of </=0.008-0.5 mg/L, with a MIC90 of 0.125 mg/L. Only four isolates (2.1%) had 0.5 mg/L MIC to fidaxomicin. The obtained MICs showed identical distribution to those found in the EUCAST database for wild-type strains. |
