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.

Focal Infection: An infection at a specific location that may spread to another region of the body.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The treatment of 37 initial febrile episodes (12 cases of septicemia, 7 infectious sites and 38 cases of fever of unknown origin) in 33 neutropenic patients (PMN leucocytes less than 500/mm3) using the combination of a third generation cephalosporin (cefotaxime or ceftazidime) and a new quinolone (pefloxacin) resulted in an 86% immediate success rate (32 cases/37)."5.06[Combination of a 3d-generation cephalosporin (cefotaxime or ceftazidime) and a new quinolone (pefloxacine) in the treatment of febrile episodes in neutropenic diseases (37 cases)].
