A Strategic Combat Against Antimicrobial Resistance: A Cross-sectional Evaluation of Levofloxacin’s Efficacy against Multidrug-resistant Bacterial Isolates in Nigeria

2025-05-21

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> Key mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) include the presence of efflux pumps and the production of drug-degrading enzymes upon exposure to antimicrobial drugs. Levofloxacin, a widely prescribed fluoroquinolone, has marked antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive pathogens like <italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae</italic> and Gram-negative pathogen...
