Balofloxacin (25 mg/mL; 1 h) decreases the growth of S. aureus that adhered to human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs)[2].
Balofloxacin inhibits the S. aureus ATCC 25923, with a MIC of 0.125 mg/mL[2].
Balofloxacin (0.05-500 μg/mL; 72 h) does not induce toxicity on the HCECs at a low concentration, such as 0.625 mg/mL[2].
