  abstract = {<p>The activity of 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg sparfloxacin was measured against Mycobacterium leprae in normal (immunocompetent) mouse foot pads by the proportional bactericidal test. This was compared with the action of 25, 50, and 150 mg/kg ofloxacin by the same method. Sparfloxacin, at both concentrations, was found to be strongly bactericidal by this method, comparable to 150 mg/kg ofloxacin.</p>
