ciprofloxacin has been researched along with Dysentery in 10 studies

Ciprofloxacin: A broad-spectrum antimicrobial carboxyfluoroquinoline.
ciprofloxacin : A quinolone that is quinolin-4(1H)-one bearing cyclopropyl, carboxylic acid, fluoro and piperazin-1-yl substituents at positions 1, 3, 6 and 7, respectively.

Dysentery: Acute inflammation of the intestine associated with infectious DIARRHEA of various etiologies, generally acquired by eating contaminated food containing TOXINS, BIOLOGICAL derived from BACTERIA or other microorganisms.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone and pivmecillinam are the antibiotics currently recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the treatment of dysentery in children; yet there have been no reviews of the clinical effectiveness of these antibiotics in recent years."4.86Antibiotics for the treatment of dysentery in children. ( Black, RE; Munos, M; Traa, BS; Walker, CL, 2010)
"Detection of Shigella organisms and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was evaluated in 20 patients with dysentery before and in 17 of the 20 after treatment with ciprofloxacin."3.68Detection of Shigellae and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli by amplification of the invasion plasmid antigen H DNA sequence in patients with dysentery. ( Eampokalap, B; Echeverria, P; Hoge, CW; Murphy, GS; Sethabutr, O; Venkatesan, M, 1993)
"Travelers' diarrhea is self-limiting and generally resolves within 5 days; however, antibiotic treatment significantly reduces symptom severity and duration of illness."1.46Antibiotic Therapy for Acute Watery Diarrhea and Dysentery. ( Tribble, DR, 2017)
"To detect campylobacteriosis and determine the drug susceptibility of causative organisms, we acquired 500 diarrheic samples in Cary-Blair transfer medium from two pediatric hospitals in Tehran between October 2004 and October 2005."1.34Isolation and drug-resistant patterns of Campylobacter strains cultured from diarrheic children in Tehran. ( Dolatabadi, S; Feizabadi, MM; Zali, MR, 2007)
