In a limited number of comparative trials, Ciprofloxacin, in combination with an antianaerobic agent, has demonstrated efficacy similar to that of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid plus metronidazole and that of imipenem-cilastatin in intra-abdominal infection. In patients undergoing CAPD, Ciprofloxacin (25 to...
Ciprofloxacin has demonstrated potent antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacterial species. Its primary mechanism of action involves inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase, although other mechanisms, including interference with bacterial virulence factors, also appear to be involved. Considering the m...
Results:Of the isolates, 42.5% were found to be CRIs, the majority (74.42%) from inpatient departments, and Conclusion:Ciprofloxacin resistance observed in our study was mostly due to point mutations. Hence, strategies for rational use of ciprofloxacin and adherence to the dose and duration of ...

The duration of therapy was 10 to 21 days (mean duration of treatment was 11 days with a range of 1 to 88 days). The primary objective of the study was to assess musculoskeletal and neurological safety within 6 weeks of therapy and through one year of follow-up in the 335 ciprofloxacin...
After removal of the drug persistent suppression of bacterial growth followed by regrowth was observed for all strains after exposure of the organisms to various concentrations of ciprofloxacin for limited periods of time (0.25-3 h). The duration of this post-antibiotic effect increased with the ...
