Levofloxacin-TEVA Pharmacodynamics
Levofloxacin is characterized by a broad spectrum of antibacterial action. The bactericidal effect is provided due to the inhibition by levofloxacin of the bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase, which belongs to type II topoisomerases. The result of such oppression is the impossibility of the transition of bacterial DNA from a state of relaxation to a twisting state, which, in turn, makes it impossible for further division (reproduction) of bacterial cells. The spectrum of activity of levofloxacin includes gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria together with non-fermenting bacteria.
