Description:

Gatifloxacin, a new type of quinolone antibiotic, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for indications including the treatment of community-acquired respiratory tract infections (RTIs). It was designed with a unique 8-methoxy structure that appears to enhance bactericidal action and decrease the rate of the development of resistance of gram-positive bacteria.
Quinolones rapidly inhibit DNA synthesis by promoting cleavage of bacterial DNA in the DNA-enzyme complexes of DNA gyrase and type IV topoisomerase, resulting in rapid bacterial death. As a general rule, gram-negative bacterial activity correlates with inhibition of DNA gyrase, and gram-positive bacterial activity corresponds with inhibition of DNA type IV topoisomerase.
Quinolones inhibit two specific enzymes, DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV, which aid in bacterial DNA replication. FACTIVE displays strong binding affinity at both of these target sites, which helps maintain high in vitro potency against resistant S pneumoniae. This dual targeting with FACTIVE is achievable at therapeutic drug levels.
The antimicrobial activity of ornidazole is due to the reduction of the nitro group to a more reactive amine that attacks microbial DNA, brings about loss of helical structure of DNA and subsequent DNA breakage thus inhibiting further synthesis and causing degradation of existing DNA.

contraindications

Gatifloxacin is contraindicated in persons with a history of hypersensitivity to gatifloxacin or any member of the quinolone class of antimicrobial agents.
Ornidazole is contraindicated in persons with a history of hypersensitivity ornidazole and other imidazoles.
