norfloxacin and Corynebacterium Infections

norfloxacin has been researched along with Corynebacterium Infections in 4 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.

Corynebacterium Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus CORYNEBACTERIUM.

"Oral doses of norfloxacin (80 mg/kg of body weight per day) and ciprofloxacin (25 and 80 mg/kg/day) and intramuscular doses of teicoplanin (5 mg/kg/day), all administered once a day for 10 days, were evaluated as a means of preventing encrusted cystitis caused by Corynebacterium group D2."7.68Treatment of encrusted cystitis caused by Corynebacterium group D2 with norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and teicoplanin in an experimental model in rats. ( Avilés, P; Castilla, C; Rodriguez-Tudela, JL; Soriano, F, 1991)

" Among quinolones, the most active agents are ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin (MIC modes: 4 and 2 mg/l), so these antimicrobials could be used for the treatment of urinary tract infections caused by Corynebacterium group D2."3.67[Corynebacterium group D2. Clinical study, biochemical identification and antibiotic sensitivity]. ( Cancet, B; Clave, D; Didier, J; Henry-Ferry, S; Marty, N, 1988)
