What is ziprosloxacin?

Answer 1

Ziprosloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used primarily to treat bacterial infections, particularly those affecting the respiratory tract and urinary system. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for DNA replication and repair. While it has demonstrated efficacy against various gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria, its use may be limited by side effects and the potential for developing antibiotic resistance. As of my last update, ziprosloxacin is not widely used in all regions and may be available under specific circumstances or in particular countries.
