Gatofloxacin, Clinical Pharmacology, RXlist:"The mechanism of action of fluoroquinolones including gatifloxacin is different from that of penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, macrolides, and tetracyclines. Therefore, fluoroquinolones may be active against pathogens that are resistant to these antibiotics. There is no cross-resistance between gatifloxacin and the mentioned classes of antibiotics." *************************

Gatifloxacin, About your treatment, MEDLINEplus:"Your doctor has ordered gatifloxacin, an antibiotic, to help treat your infection. The drug will be added to an intravenous fluid that will drip through a needle or catheter placed in your vein for at least 60 minutes, once a day.
Gatifloxacin is in a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It eliminates bacteria that cause many infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis; sinus, respiratory tract, and urinary tract infections; and sexually transmitted diseases." *************************
Gatifloxacin, Gatifloxacin Equal to Co-amoxiclav for Acute Sinusitis, May 11, 2000, Doctor's Guide:"The new once-daily fluoroquinolone, gatifloxacin, has been proved to be as effective as a three-times daily course of co-amoxiclav (amoxycillin 500 mg plus clavulanic acid 125 mg) for the treatment of acute sinusitis.
Gatifloxacin is licensed in the US by Bristol-Myers Squibb, where it has been recently launched for the treatment of respiratory tract infections. Gatifloxacin is administered at a dose of 400 mg once daily for five to ten days depending upon the severity of the infection." *************************
