The effectiveness of a single 300-mg dose of tosufloxacin and of 3-day treatment with tosufloxacin (300 mg daily) were compared in a prospective trial in order to clarify the cost-effectiveness of tosufloxacin for acute uncomplicated cystitis. Fifty female patients (25 patients of each group) with acute uncomplicated cystitis received one of these treatment regimens, and the clinical data and follow-up culture results were analyzed. The effectiveness rates of single-dose treatment and 3-day treatment after 3 days were 100% and 96%, respectively. The recurrence rates of single-dose treatment and 3-day treatment after 14 or 28 days were 0% (0/13 patients) and 15% (2/13 patients), respectively. There was no significant difference in the effectiveness rate and the recurrence rate between these two groups, statistically. All isolated strains were eliminated in both regimens. From these results, it is suggested that single-dose treatment of tosufloxacin is effective enough for acute uncomplicated cystitis.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
