Ciprofloxacin（Cat No.:A000981）is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic widely used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, and repair. Ciprofloxacin is effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, making it useful for treating infections such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections. Its oral and intravenous formulations provide flexibility in clinical use. Due to its potent antibacterial activity, Ciprofloxacin is often employed in serious infections and in patients resistant to other antibiotics.
