Enrofloxacin

- Overview
  - Enrofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic commonly used in veterinary medicine.
    We offer two forms of enrofloxacin, enrofloxacin (E016) and enrofloxacin HCl (E007). Enrofloxcin is slightly soluble in aqueous solution and enrofloxacin HCl is freely soluble at 10 mg/mL.

    Background
    
    Fluoroquinolone antibiotics target bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme which reduces DNA strain during replication. Because DNA gyrase is required during DNA replication, subsequent DNA synthesis and ultimately cell division is inhibited.

- Applications
  - Application Description
    
    Spectrum: Enrofloxacin is a broad spectrum antibiotic targeting a wide variety of gram positive and gram negative bacteria and a few Mycoplasma species.
    
    Microbiology Applications: Enrofloxacin is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against gram positive, gram negative, and certain Mycoplasma species. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options for infected patients. Representative MIC values include:Pseudomonas aeruginosa 0.5 µg/mL – 2 µg/mLEscherichia coli 0.004 µg/mL – 0.03 µg/mL
