Description
Norfloxacin is a first generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic targeting primarily gram-negative bacteria responsible for causing urinary tract infections. It is a derivative of pefloxacin.
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.
