Pharmacodynamics
Levofloxacin is a synthetic antibacterial drug from the group of fluoroquinolones, the S-enantiomer of the racemic mixture of the drug ofloxacin.

Mechanism of action.

As an antibacterial drug from the group of fluoroquinolones, levofloxacin acts on the DNA-DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV complex.

Pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics ratio. The degree of bacterial activity of levofloxacin depends on the ratio of the maximum serum concentration (Cmax) or the area under the pharmacokinetic curve (AUC) and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).

Mechanism of resistance

Resistance to levofloxacin is acquired as a stepwise process of target site mutation in both types of topoisomerase II, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Other mechanisms of resistance, such as barrier penetration (common with Pseudomonas) and efflux mechanisms, can also influence sensitivity to levofloxacin.

Cross-resistance has been established between levofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones.

Due to its mechanism of action, there is usually no cross-resistance between levofloxacin and other classes of antibacterial drugs.
