How It Works

Inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, preventing DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination.

Mechanism Steps

1Ciprofloxacin enters bacterial cell via porin channels.
2Binds to DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV.
3Inhibits the resealing of DNA strands after cleavage.
4Prevents DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination.
5Leads to bacterial cell death.
