What is Enrofloxacin?
Enrofloxacin Injection is an antibiotic drug used to treat certain bacterial infections in large and small animals. It is used to treat respiratory infections in cattle, swine, sheep, horses, goats and poultry.
It works by inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis. Enrofloxacin has bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Bartonella, Proteus, Campylobacter and Klebsiella.
Mechanism of action
Enrofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of drugs and exerts its antibacterial effect by inhibiting bacterial DNA rotamase and DNA gyrase. These enzymes play a key role in the replication, transcription, and repair of bacterial DNA. By inhibiting the activity of these enzymes, enrofloxacin interferes with the normal growth and reproduction of the bacteria, ultimately leading to their death.
