Sir,
Croisier et al.1 described an experimental model of pneumococcal pneumonia in the rabbit caused by penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae with different susceptibilities to fluoroquinolones. In this model, levofloxacin, at a dose that simulated human treatment with 500 mg twice a day, was effective against strains with levofloxacin MIC < 1.5 mg/L, but ineffective against strains
