“…In comparison, ciprofloxacin resistance was observed in a much smaller proportion of methicillin-sensitive S. aureus and S. epidermidis strains (9% and 15%, respectively). In agreement with previous studies, 6,31,32,41 besifloxacin demonstrated potent in vitro activity against methicillin-resistant staphylococcal isolates, with MIC 90 values against CipR-MRSA and CipR-MRSE at least eight-to 128-fold lower than that of other fluoroquinolones and comparable to that reported for vancomycin in recent surveillance studies (1-2 µg/mL). …”

“…28,29 Many of these methicillin-resistant strains showed concurrent resistance to other non-β-lactam antibiotics, including aminoglycosides, macrolides, tetracyclines, and/or fluoroquinolones, making the treatment of ocular infections caused by these pathogens a challenge. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Although conjunctivitis infections with methicillin-resistant staphylococci are generally not vision-threatening, 24 potentially catastrophic complications have been reported with other ocular infections involving such organisms (eg, keratitis, cellulitis, endophthalmitis). [34][35][36] Topical fluoroquinolones are often used in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis due to their low toxicity, broad spectrum of activity, and bactericidal activity.…”

“…Por otra parte, 64,5, 47,4 y 21,1 % de los estafilococos negativos para coagulasa y resistentes a la meticilina mostró resistencia a la ciprofloxacina, la moxifloxacina y la tobramicina, respectivamente. No se identificó ningún caso de resistencia de Streptococcus pneumoniae a la moxifloxacina, y aunque los autores indican que no pudieron clasificar las colonias de neumococo de acuerdo con su resistencia por no contar con puntos de corte establecidos por el Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, al usar los sugeridos por esa entidad para el 2012 (concentraciones inhibitorias mínimas de ≤4 µg/ml para sensible y ≥16 µg/ml para resistente), se encontró que prácticamente en todos los casos, S. pneumoniae presentaba sensibilidad intermedia o resistencia a la tobramicina (7,11). Entre los neumococos no encontraron ninguna colonia resistente a la gatifloxacina, 1,4 % fue resistente a la ciprofloxacina y 94,3 % mostró resistencia a la gentamicina.…”

“…La importancia del estudio de la microbiota ocular radica en la frecuencia en la que estos agentes ocasionan infecciones en la superficie ocular (17,18 (19,20). S. aureus es la especie patógena del género Staphylococcus; esta se encuentra con cierta frecuencia como parte de la microbiota de la conjuntiva (6-8), la mayoría presentan incremento en la resistencia a antibióticos, independientemente de si se aís-lan de infecciones o de la microbiota normal (7)(8)(9)18,(21)(22)(23).…”
