The rise of fluoroquinolone resistance: fact or fiction.

Journal of chemotherapy (Florence, Italy) - 1 Jul 2002

Ferraro M J

Abstract excerpt

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have been available since the 1980s when ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin were licensed. Structural revisions of the quinolone molecule have provided new compounds that were well suited to the treatment of upper and lower community-acquired respiratory tract infections, having good activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Nevertheless, it was only a matter of time before the...
