fleroxacin and Bacteremia

fleroxacin has been researched along with Bacteremia in 5 studies

Fleroxacin: A broad-spectrum antimicrobial fluoroquinolone. The drug strongly inhibits the DNA-supercoiling activity of DNA GYRASE.
fleroxacin : A fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline which is substituted at positions 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8 by 2-fluoroethyl, carboxy, fluoro, 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl and fluoro groups, respectively. It is active against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Bacteremia: The presence of viable bacteria circulating in the blood. Fever, chills, tachycardia, and tachypnea are common acute manifestations of bacteremia. The majority of cases are seen in already hospitalized patients, most of whom have underlying diseases or procedures which render their bloodstreams susceptible to invasion.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a multicenter, randomized trial, we compared the efficacy, safety, and length of hospital stay for patients with staphylococcal infections treated either with an oral combination of a fluoroquinolone (fleroxacin) plus rifampicin or with standard parenteral treatment (flucloxacillin or vancomycin)."5.11A randomized clinical trial to compare fleroxacin-rifampicin with flucloxacillin or vancomycin for the treatment of staphylococcal infection. ( Bregenzer, T; Flueckiger, U; Francioli, P; Genné, D; Harbarth, S; Jacobs, F; Lew, DP; Petignat, C; Schockmel, G; Schrenzel, J; Zimmerli, W, 2004)
"The objective of this open label, non-comparative study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fleroxacin 400mg administered orally once daily to patients with acute osteomyelitis and/or acute septic arthritis."5.07Clinical evaluation of fleroxacin in the treatment of bone and joint infections. ( Chen, YS; Cheng, DL; de Garis, ST; Hsieh, TL; Lin, HH; Liu, CY; Liu, YC; Wang, RS; Yen, MY, 1992)
"Fleroxacin is a new broad-spectrum quinolone which can be given by the oral route."1.29Single-dose pharmacokinetics of oral fleroxacin in bacteremic patients. ( Cerruti, F; Herrmann, M; Hirschel, B; Leemann, T; Lew, DP; Portmann, R; Schrenzel, J; Weidekamm, E, 1994)
