PHARMACODYNAMICS
Pharmacotherapeutic group: quinolone antibacterials, fluoroquinolones
ATC-code: J01MA12
Levofloxacin is a synthetic antibacterial agent of the fluoroquinolone
class and is the S (-)
enantiomer of the racemic active substance ofloxacin.
_Mechanism of action_
As a fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, levofloxacin acts on the
DNA-gyrase complex and
topoisomerase IV.
_PK/PD relationship_
The degree of the bactericidal activity of levofloxacin depends on the
ratio of the maximum
concentration in serum (Cmax) or the area under the curve (AUC) and
the minimal inhibitory
concentration (MJC).
_Mechanism of resistance_
Resistance to levofloxacin is acquired through a stepwise process by
target site mutations in
both type II topoisomerases, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Other
resistance mechanisms
such as permeation barriers (common in _ Pseudomonas ae
