gatifloxacin and Bacterial Conjunctivitides

gatifloxacin has been researched along with Bacterial Conjunctivitides in 10 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.

Trial Outcomes

Percentage of Patients With Clearing (Clinical Success) of Conjunctival Hyperemia and Conjunctival Discharge at Day 6

Percentage of patients that achieved clinical success, defined as achievement of a score of zero for both conjunctival hyperemia and conjunctival discharge in the study eye at Day 6. Conjunctival hyperemia and conjunctival discharge were each assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate, +3=severe). (NCT00518089)
