Enrofloxacin belongs to the  third generation of fluoroquinolones that inhibits DNA Gyrase

in the bacterial nucleus and it can cut DNA to small and inactive pieces.

Enrofloxacin inhibits DNA transcription and its bactericidal effects is revealed. Enrofloxacin is a broad spectrum antibiotic that affects on gram negative bacteria such as E.Coli, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Proteus, Campylobacter, Bordetella, Pasteurella, Haemophilus, Actinobacillus, Brucella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, Clostridium, Listeria monocytogenes, Truperella (Arcanobacterium) pyogenes, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Mycoplasma and Chlamydia.

Minimum inhibitory concentration of this drug against these organisms is low. This charachteristic and special pharmacokinetic results in a more effective concentration in a short time.
