Moxifloxacin 

Drug class: Fluoroquinolones

• A 4^th generation fluoroquinolone with a broad spectrum of activity against microorganisms isolated in Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP), including multi-resistant pneumococci and pathogens such as M. catarrhalis and H. influenzae with resistance to penicillins, macrolides, and tetracyclines.

• Provided excellent clinical and bacteriological cure rates in CAP due to drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumococci.

• A better microbiological effect and lower risk of treatment failures of moxifloxacin can be attributed to its excellent tissue penetration, high bioavailability, and bactericidal mechanism.

• Possesses activity against atypical pathogens and meta-analysis data suggests that it alone has a higher pathogen eradication rate than β-lactam-based combination therapy.

• Moxifloxacin was as clinically equivalent and bacteriologically superior to the antibiotic regimens routinely used in patients with Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
