Biochem/physiol Actions

Ciprofloxacinis a fluoroquinolone antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity, which killsbacteria by blocking DNA gyrase and type IV topoisomerase—critical enzymes forDNA replication and transcription—leading to cell death. It is effectiveagainst a broad array of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, inaddition to Mycoplasmas.
