Produktinformation

• Name: Levofloxacin hydrochloride
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are enzymes that maintain the integrity of bacterial DNA. It binds to bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA and inhibits protein synthesis, leading to cell death by inhibiting the production of proteins vital for cell division. Levofloxacin has been shown to be effective against many infectious diseases, including urinary tract infections and some types of pneumonia. Levofloxacin also has inhibitory properties against gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed that levofloxacin interferes with protein synthesis by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. The drug also binds to benzalkonium chloride (BAK) in wastewater treatment systems, which may contribute to its effectiveness in these
