Nalidixic Acid（Cat No.:A000918）is a synthetic antibiotic and the first of the quinolone class, effective primarily against gram-negative bacteria. It inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme critical for DNA replication, thus preventing bacterial growth. Commonly used in urinary tract infections, Nalidixic Acid is significant in research for studying DNA synthesis, bacterial resistance mechanisms, and the development of newer fluoroquinolones. Its historical importance and selective activity provide a foundation for investigating bacterial DNA targets, contributing to advancements in antimicrobial therapy and the understanding of quinolone resistance pathways.
