The MIC of TEL was ranged from to m g/ml and the MIC 50 and MIC 90 of TEL were respectively and m g/ml, which were the lowest values compared with those of other oral antibacterial agents measured. When compared TEL with other agents in the order of the MIC 50 and MIC 90, TEL was more superior to EM and CAM (both eight times), MINO (four times and twice), and LVFX (6 and 64 times). The MIC 90 of TEL was superior in twice though the MIC 50 was the same in comparison with CFIX. The CDZM resistant strain did not exist and SPCM also inhibit growth with 32 m g/ml or less that was the breakpoint MIC excluding one stock though the PCG sensitive strain was only.4% in the injection drug. However, clinical breakpoint MIC is not established, but the efficacy of TEL is prospective because of its high antibacterial activity to inhibit growth of all stocks for gonococcus with m g/ml. It is expected that TEL can become an oral antibiotic recommended for treatment of gonococcus if dosage and administration are considered.
