DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Infection
Biological Activity:
Ofloxacin is a synthetic chemotherapeutic antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class. Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It functions by inhibiting DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase and topoisomerase IV, which is an enzyme necessary to separate replicated DNA, thereby inhibiting cell division. [1]
