Pharmacological action
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug of fluoroquinolone group with bactericidal action. Inhibits DNA gyrase and inhibits the synthesis of bacterial DNA. Highly active against most gram-negative bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
It is active against Staphylococcus spp. (including strains producing and not producing penicillinase, methicillin-resistant strains), some strains of Enterococcus spp., Campylobacter spp., Legionella spp., Mycoplasma spp., Chlamydia spp., Mycobacterium spp. ciprofloxacin is active against bacteria producing beta-lactamases.
Ureaplasma urealyticum, Clostridium difficile, Nocardia asteroides resistant to ciprofloxacin. The effect on Treponema pallidum is studied not enough.
Pharmacokinetics
Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability after oral administration of 70%. Eating has a little effect on the absorption of ciprofloxacin. Plasma protein binding is 20-40%. Distributed in tissues and body fluids. It penetrates the cerebrospinal fluid: the concentration of ciprofloxacin for not inflamed meninges reach 10% with inflammation - up to 37%. High concentrations are achieved in bile. Excreted in the urine and bile.
Why is Ciprogen prescribed?
Infectious-inflammatory diseases caused by microorganisms susceptible to ciprofloxacin, including respiratory diseases, diseases of abdominal and pelvic organs, bones, joints, skin, septicemia; severe

    A major hurdle that has prevented the commercialization of many promising poorly soluble drug candidates is dissolution rate-limited bioavailability or permeation rate-limited bioavailability. Buccal route of administration provides better penetration of therapeutic and diagnostic agents, and a reduced risk in comparison to conventional treatments. This leads to greater therapeutic efficacy, provides a more comfortable administration for the patient and allows preventing over dose.…

    Chemical antimicrobial agents are chemical compounds capable of either inhibiting the growth of microorganisms or killing them outright. Those which are taken internally to alleviate the symptoms of or promote healing from disease are called chemotherapeutic drugs, and among these is a class of compounds called antibiotics. In order for a chemotherapeutic drug to be classed as an antibiotic, it must be produced by a microorganism such as bacterium or fungus or at least derived from a chemical produced by one. It must also be capable of killing or inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms and of doing so when taken in very small quantities.…

    Doctors must know which antibiotic kills each disease-causing bacterium. We, Chelsea and Justin, will find out how Erythromycin, Penicillin, and Ampicillin are affected by the bacteria Serratia marcescens. Our hypothesis is that Penicillin will have the largest ring of inhibition, the ring around the disk where the antibiotic has killed bacteria. We believe Penicillin will be the most common antibiotic that we have heard of.…

    Antimicrobial Lab Report

    In this lab, chemotherapeutic agents were evaluated by the disk-diffusion method. Chemotherapeutic agents are placed on the surface of a Petri plate containing Mueller-Hinton agar, which allows the agents to diffuse freely, and a growth medium is incubated over its’ surface. During incubation, the chemotherapeutic agents move from levels of high concentration, to low levels of concentration. To be effective, the agent must inhibit bacteria growth and measurements that were made by the zones of inhibition around the Petri disk. Zone size is affected by diffusion rate of the antibiotic and growth rate of the organism. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is represented by the concentration of chemotherapeutic that stands at the edge of the zone of inhibition. The MIC is determined by comparing the zone of inhibition with the *Table 1 MIC values. The cultures assigned were Staphylococcus aureus (gram positive…

    The antibiotic that was the most effective was Streptomycin. This was due to Streptomycin being an antibiotic that works on gram negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria are bacteria that do not retain crystal violet dye in the Gram staining protocol whereas Gram-positive bacteria are those that are stained dark blue or violet by Gram staining. The bacteria we used were E-coli that are a gram negative bacteria and the only antibiotic out of Penicillin and Streptomycin that will work is Streptomycin. Penicillin is also effective antibiotic but it will only work on bacteria that Is gram positive because it is an antibiotic that has been designed in order to just work on gram positive because the antibiotic itself is gram positive. We know that Streptomycin was most effect due to their being a bigger zone of inhibition. Streptomycin was also the most effective because it affects the protein synthesis whereas Penicillin affects bacterial cell wall synthesis. Penicillin lengthens the bacteria but it cannot divide it.…

    Broad spectrum antibiotics work against many types of organisms such as gram positives, gram negatives and anaerobes. The great thing about this is that these are prescribed empirically so that all potential bacteria are covered until the culture results return. The problem with the misuse of broad spectrums is the resistance it can cause. The good thing about the narrow spectrum is that it covers for the specific organism that is causing the infection. The problem is that treatment for the wrong organism can occur.…
