Gatifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, an infection of the outer membrane of the eye. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria and works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for bacterial growth and replication. Gatifloxacin is administered as eye drops to target the infection directly. In summary, Gatifloxacin effectively treats bacterial eye infections.
Gatifloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing bacterial DNA replication and transcription, leading to bacterial cell death.
