Grepafloxacin exhibits in vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1ug/ml or less against most (>90%) strains of the following microorganisms; however, the safety and effectiveness of grepafloxacin in treating clinical infections due to these microorganisms have not been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.

Aerobic Gram-Positive Microorganisms (In Vitro Only)

Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible strains)

Staphylococcus epidermidis (methicillin-susceptible strains)

Streptococcus agalactiae

Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-resistant strains)
