How it works
Gemifloxacin inhibits two specific enzymes, DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV, which aid in bacterial DNA replication. Gemifloxacin displays strong binding affinity at both of these target sites, whichhelps maintain high potency against resistant S pneumoniae. This dual targeting with Gemifloxacin is achievable at therapeutic drug levels.
