norfloxacin and Streptococcal Infections

norfloxacin has been researched along with Streptococcal Infections in 17 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.

Streptococcal Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus STREPTOCOCCUS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The objective of the study was to examine the characteristics of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) caused by streptococci, in particular viridans group streptococci (VGS), and to investigate a potential association between the long-term administration of norfloxacin and high-level resistance to fluoroquinolones in these organisms."3.73Viridans group streptococci: an underestimated cause of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic patients with ascites. ( Bert, F; Lambert-Zechovsky, N; Noussair, L; Valla, D, 2005)
"FIC, AI-2 activity assay, real-time RT-PCR and biofilm inhibition assays were performed to investigate the in vitro effect of paeoniflorin combined with norfloxacin."1.72Paeoniflorin combined with norfloxacin ameliorates drug-resistant Streptococcus suis infection. ( Fan, Q; Grenier, D; Hou, X; Li, J; Sun, L; Wang, Y; Wei, Y; Xue, B; Yi, L; Zhang, X; Zuo, J, 2022)
" FQs at proper dosage can be effective against S."1.39Effect of subinhibitory concentrations of fluoroquinolones on biofilm production by clinical isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes. ( Balaji, K; Pandian, SK; Thenmozhi, R, 2013)
"Hepatopulmonary syndrome was diagnosed after demonstration of the presence of a massive intrapulmonary shunt."1.31Novel presentation and approach to management of hepatopulmonary syndrome with use of antimicrobial agents. ( Añel, RM; Sheagren, JN, 2001)
"Norfloxacin was ineffective at 200 mg/kg per day against E."1.27In vivo evaluation of A-56619 (difloxacin) and A-56620: new aryl-fluoroquinolones. ( Bower, RR; Chu, DT; Fernandes, PB; Jarvis, KP; Ramer, NR; Shipkowitz, N, 1986)
"Pefloxacin was given as the single drug (except in one case) to twenty-seven patients with a variety of infections (bone and/or joint: 8; respiratory tract: 6; urinary tract: 5; bacteremia: 4; meninges: 3; other: 1)."1.27[Pefloxacin: clinical experience].
