Gemifloxacin
A fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat respiratory tract infections including community-acquired pneumonia and acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. It works by inhibiting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair. It should be used cautiously as fluoroquinolones carry risks of tendon damage and nerve-related side effects.
