ofloxacin and Bites, Human

ofloxacin has been researched along with Bites, Human in 3 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.

Bites, Human: Bites inflicted by humans.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Levofloxacin was generally one to two dilutions more active than ofloxacin, while ciprofloxacin was active against aerobes (MIC < or = 1 mg/L) but less active against anaerobic strains (MIC90 < or = 16 mg/L)."1.30Trovafloxacin compared with levofloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin and clarithromycin against unusual aerobic and anaerobic human and animal bite-wound pathogens. ( Citron, DM; Goldstein, EJ; Hudspeth, M; Hunt Gerardo, S; Merriam, CV, 1998)
"Cefuroxime was generally greater than fourfold more active than cephalexin and cefadroxil against all aerobic isolates, including Pasteurella multocida."1.27Comparative activities of cefuroxime, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, and ofloxacin against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria isolated from bite wounds. ( Citron, DM; Goldstein, EJ, 1988)
