Description
Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum fourth generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It targets both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. In addition, it has been shown to combat methicillin-susceptible Staphylococci species as well as penicillin-resistant and penicillin-susceptible Pneumococci and Streptococci species.
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.
