norfloxacin and Cholera Infantum

norfloxacin has been researched along with Cholera Infantum in 11 studies

Norfloxacin: A synthetic fluoroquinolone (FLUOROQUINOLONES) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Norfloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA GYRASE.
norfloxacin : A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Norfloxacin is bactericidal and its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase.

"In a coordinated, double-blind multi-centre trial, adults with symptoms of acute pyelonephritis were randomly assigned to receive a two-week course of oral treatment with either 400 mg norfloxacin twice daily or 1 g cefadroxil twice daily."9.06Randomised double-blind study of norfloxacin and cefadroxil in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis. ( Englund, G; Lincoln, K; Nilsson, LG; Sandberg, T, 1990)

( Bamberger, BJ; Bartlett, JG; Burke, PJ; Hendricksen, C; Karp, JE; Laughon, B; Merz, WG; Redden, T; Saral, R, 1986)
"In a coordinated, double-blind multi-centre trial, adults with symptoms of acute pyelonephritis were randomly assigned to receive a two-week course of oral treatment with either 400 mg norfloxacin twice daily or 1 g cefadroxil twice daily."5.06Randomised double-blind study of norfloxacin and cefadroxil in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis. ( Englund, G; Lincoln, K; Nilsson, LG; Sandberg, T, 1990)
"We designed a prospective study to evaluate the incidence of Escherichia coli in stools at admission in patients with cirrhosis that had previously received norfloxacin as primary or secondary prophylaxis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) (group I, n = 28) vs those who did not (group II, n = 55)."3.70[Development of Escherichia coli strands resistant to quinolones in stools of patients with liver cirrhosis submitted to selective bowel decontamination]. ( Aparicio, JR; Arroyo, A; Gutiérrez, A; Pérez-Mateo, M; Plaza, J; Such, J, 1999)
" We have previously demonstrated that the ability to suppress bacterial colonization of this site with oral norfloxacin prophylaxis (400 mg every 12 h) affects the incidence and distribution of aerobic gram-negative bacterial infections and the overall management of infectious complications in this patient population."3.67Systemic infection and colonization with and without prophylactic norfloxacin use over time in the granulocytopenic, acute leukemia patient. ( Dick, JD; Karp, JE; Merz, WG, 1988)
"Norfloxacin has been compared to placebo (136 patients), sulfamethoxazole plus trimethoprim (SXT, 72 patients) and oral vancomycin plus colistin (V/C, 61 patients) for the prevention of alimentary tract-associated infections during and after induction chemotherapy."2.66The tolerability profile of prophylactic norfloxacin in neutropenic patients.

( Bamberger, BJ; Bartlett, JG; Burke, PJ; Hendricksen, C; Karp, JE; Laughon, B; Merz, WG; Redden, T; Saral, R, 1986)
"Norfloxacin was least active against Clostridium difficile (90% minimal inhibitory concentration, 128 micrograms/ml)."1.27In vitro antibacterial activity of norfloxacin (MK-0366, AM-715) and other agents against gastrointestinal tract pathogens. ( Gadebusch, HH; Shungu, DL; Weinberg, E, 1983)
" Whether administered for moderate or protracted periods, norfloxacin has been relatively safe in animals over a wide range of doses."1.27Norfloxacin: review of safety studies. ( Corrado, ML; Hoagland, V; Peter, C; Sabbaj, J; Struble, WE, 1987)
