The antibacterial activity of enoxacin was determined against 1015 strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, mainly freshly isolated from clinical specimens. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC 50-75-90) were determined in comparison to three commonly used antibiotics: ampicillin, cefotaxime and gentamicin. Enoxacin has shown a broad spectrum of action and antibacterial activity in general higher that than of three currently available antibiotics. The antibacterial activity seems similar to that of other quinolones of second generation.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
