Description

Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is an optical S-(-) isomer of ofloxacin. In vitro susceptibility tests show a large degree of activity towards gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria with moderate anaerobic activity.

Fluoroquinolones are a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics that inhibit DNA synthesis. These antibiotics prevent unwinding of double-stranded DNA by binding DNA gyrase or DNA topoisomerase. By preventing the formation of single-stranded DNA, fluoroquinolones inhibit bacterial replication.
