fleroxacin and Staphylococcal Infections

fleroxacin has been researched along with Staphylococcal Infections in 9 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.

Staphylococcal Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus STAPHYLOCOCCUS.

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)
"Fleroxacin elimination was slightly increased (about 15%) through induction of metabolic clearance to N-demethyl-fleroxacin."1.29Influence of rifampin on fleroxacin pharmacokinetics. ( Dayer, P; Leemann, T; Lew, DP; Portmann, R; Schrenzel, J; Weidekamm, E, 1993)
