摘要

Lascufloxacin (LSFX) achieves concentrations in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) that are more than 15 times higher than those in the bloodstream, making it a promising candidate for respiratory and otorhinolaryngological infections. These concentrations were replicated using the Hollow-Fiber Infection Model and demonstrated bactericidal efficacy of LSFX against levofloxacin-sensitive and -resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. The study confirms that LSFX’s elevated concentration in ELF plays a significant role in its bactericidal activity.
