    Background
    
    Pipemidic acid targets 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: Pipemidic acid is a broad spectrum antibiotic covering a wide range of susceptible bacteria.
    
    Microbiology Applications: Pipemidic acid is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against gram positive and gram negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options for infected patients. Representative MIC values include:Escherichia coli 1.56 µg/mLStaphylococcus aureus 6.25 µg/mL
