Abstract
The in vitro activity of moxifloxacin against Coxiella burnetii was compared to those of pefloxacin, ofloxacin, and doxycycline. MICs of moxifloxacin ranged from 0.5 to 1 microg/ml for the Nine Mile, Priscilla, and Q212 strains. Moxifloxacin was not bactericidal against C. burnetii at 4 microg/ml.
