Agar dilution and microbroth dilution methods appear equally acceptable for susceptibility testing of anaerobes against temafloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Most major discrepancies occurred with strains whose MIC was near the breakpoint. These results suggest that method variation will not be a significant factor in the susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria against other fluoroquinolone agents.
