The prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes [qnr, aac(6')-Ib-cr and qepA] was sought among Enterobacteriaceae strains obtained from the Children's Hospital of Tunis (Tunisia). Non-duplicate isolates (n = 278) with resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and collected in 2003, 2007, 2008 and 2009

During the last few years the impact on the human endogenous microflora by norfloxacin has been studied by several investigators. The use of norfloxacin for selective decontamination in compromised patients and for prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infections has also

The pharmacokinetic profile of norfloxacin, an oral fluoroquinolone, is more complex than that of many antibacterial agents. Following administration of a 400-mg dose, peak serum concentrations of 1.5 to 2.0 micrograms/ml are achieved within one to two hours. The drug

Norfloxacin is an orally absorbed fluoroquinolone antibacterial with a fluorine at position 6 and a piperazine ring at position 7. These changes have resulted in a marked enhancement (compared with that of the older quinolones) of in vitro antibacterial activity.
Bacterial resistance to norfloxacin and other newer quinolones: pattern and prospects.
