Ozenoxacin is an experimental quinolone antibiotic being developed for the treatment of impetigo and other dermatological bacterial infections. Ozenoxacin is active against some bacteria that have developed resistance to currently used quinolone and fluoroquinolone antibiotics. In two phase 3 studies, Ozenoxacin cream, 1%, applied topically twice daily for 5 days vs. placebo, demonstrated superiority on both clinical and bacteriological endpoints, according to the release. Superior bacteriological cure of Ozenoxacin compared to placebo was demonstrated as early as day 4. In both adults and a pediatric population aged 2 months and older, Ozenoxacin treatment was reported to be safe and well tolerated.
