How it works
Ciprofloxacin is a second generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This drug is active against many gram positive and gram negative bacteria. This drug performs its actions by binding to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Ciprofloxacin acts on alpha subunits of DNA gyrase and prevents its supercoiling and introduces double-stranded breaks into DNA and prevents its replication.
