ofloxacin and Bacteriuria

ofloxacin has been researched along with Bacteriuria in 31 studies

Ofloxacin: A synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent that inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA GYRASE, halting DNA REPLICATION.
9-fluoro-3-methyl-10-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-ij]quinoline-6-carboxylic acid : An oxazinoquinoline that is 2,3-dihydro-7H-[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-ij]quinolin-7-one substituted by methyl, carboxy, fluoro, and 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl groups at positions 3, 6, 9, and 10, respectively.
ofloxacin : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of levofloxacin and dextrofloxacin. It is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent which inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, halting DNA replication.

Bacteriuria: The presence of bacteria in the urine which is normally bacteria-free. These bacteria are from the URINARY TRACT and are not contaminants of the surrounding tissues. Bacteriuria can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Significant bacteriuria is an indicator of urinary tract infection.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a prospective randomized study ofloxacin (400 mg orally once daily) versus co-trimoxazole (320/1,600 mg orally once daily) were given for 3 weeks in 30 and 22 elderly semimobile patients respectively, suffering from asymptomatic bacteriuria."9.07Kinetics and comparative efficacy of ofloxacin versus co-trimoxazole in the asymptomatic bacteriuria of elderly subjects.

"In order to reduce the dosage of aminoglycoside in the treatment of patients with complicated urinary tract infections (UTI) in outpatient clinics and to improve cost benefits, we tried both ofloxacin (OFX) treatment and a combination treatment with OFX and a single dose of aminoglycoside (isepamicin)."9.07Treatment of complicated urinary tract infections with ofloxacin following an aminoglycoside. ( Eto, K; Ishii, T; Kumazawa, J; Matsumoto, T; Saito, Y; Sawae, Y; Ueda, S; Yushita, Y, 1991)

I. Clinical and microbiological findings]. ( Friedrich, HJ; Garbe, C; Harbrecht, J; Kleinschmidt, K; Schiefer, HG; Weidner, W; Weissbach, L, 1990)
"The objective of this multicenter, randomized, controlled, parallel group trial was to evaluate the efficacy of levofloxacin 250 mg oral, once daily (LVFX), placebo one tablet oral once daily (Placebo [P] group) and ciprofloxacin (CPFX) 500 mg oral, twice daily (single blind), prophylaxis in preventing bacteriuria (> or = 10(3) CFU/ml) in post-surgical catheterized patients."5.12A pilot study on prevention of catheter-related urinary tract infections with fluoroquinolones. ( Drago, L; Esposito, S; Leone, S; Marchetti, F; Marvaso, A; Noviello, S, 2006)

"Strains isolated in health-related bacteriuria are more frequently ofloxacin resistant principally because of the greater proportion of Gram positive bacteria and because of a non-significant higher ofloxacin resistance rate among Enterobacteriaceae."3.78[Differences between species involved and fluoroquinolone resistance patterns of strains isolated from bacteriuria according to nosocomial, health-related or community-acquired onset].
