How does it work?
Levofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which has been found to have potent actions
against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Like all quinolones, it functions by
inhibiting the DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, two bacterial types II topoisomerases.
Topoisomerase IV is necessary to separate DNA that has been replicated (doubled) prior to
bacterial cell division. With DNA separation being inhibited, and the process halted, the
bacterium cannot divide further. DNA gyrase, on the other hand, is responsible for supercoiling
the DNA, so that it will fit in the newly formed cells. Both mechanisms amount to killing the
bacterium thus fulfilling its primary role of being a bactericide.
