gatifloxacin and Acute Disease

gatifloxacin has been researched along with Acute Disease in 15 studies

Gatifloxacin: A fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent and DNA TOPOISOMERASE II inhibitor that is used as an ophthalmic solution for the treatment of BACTERIAL CONJUNCTIVITIS.
gatifloxacin : A monocarboxylic acid that is 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid which is substituted on the nitrogen by a cyclopropyl group and at positions 6, 7, and 8 by fluoro, 3-methylpiperazin-1-yl, and methoxy groups, respectively. Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic of the fourth-generation fluoroquinolone family, that like other members of that family, inhibits the bacterial topoisomerase type-II enzymes.

Acute Disease: Disease having a short and relatively severe course.

Change in Ln(Bacterial Colony Count) From Pre-antibiotic Administration to Post Study Medication Swabs

Within 3 hours from time of culture acquisition, the samples will be vortexed for 30 seconds and 100µl aliquots will be plated onto 5% sheep blood and chocolate agar plates. These plates will be incubated with 5% carbon dioxide at 35˚ C for 72 hours. After 72 hours all plates will be read for colony count and identification of all isolates will be performed using routine microbiological methods. The natural log of bacterial bacterial colony count will be used for the outcome measure. (NCT00827073)
