How MOXIFLOXACIN HYDROCHLORIDE IN SODIUM CHLORIDE 0.8% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER Works

Moxifloxacin is a member of the fluoroquinolone class of antibacterial agents. It exerts its bactericidal action by inhibiting the bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. By targeting these enzymes, moxifloxacin causes significant disruption to bacterial DNA synthesis, leading to cell death.
