HIDE SMILES / InChI
Rufloxacin (MF-934) is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug. It acts as a DNA gyrase inhibitor. Rufloxacin shows in vitro antibacterial activity against E. coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Proteus and Staphylococcus spp. Lower in vitro activity was observed with Pseudomonas, Serratia, Enterobacter and the streptococci group D. Rufloxacin is indicated for the treatment of lower respiratory tract and urinary tract infections caused by germs sensitive to rufloxacin.
