norfloxacin and Leptospirosis

norfloxacin has been researched along with Leptospirosis in 3 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.

Leptospirosis: Infections with bacteria of the genus LEPTOSPIRA.

" Many antibiotics at appropriate concentrations improved the survival rate and alleviated tissue injury, while, when dosing strategies fall below subtherapeutic levels, worse therapeutic effects are seen."5.46Low-dose norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin therapy worsen leptospirosis in hamster. ( Cao, Y; Guo, J; Jin, X; Lin, T; Wang, T; Wu, D; Wu, R; Xie, X; Zhang, W, 2017)
" Low-dose Norfloxacin (Nor) has been reported to suppress the immune response and worsen leptospirosis."3.88Low-dose Norfloxacin-treated leptospires induce less IL-1β release in J774A.1 cells following discrepant leptospiral gene expression. ( Cao, Y; Tu, C; Wu, D; Xie, X; Zhang, W, 2018)
