Essential insights

• Inhibition of DNA gyrase: Enrofloxacin works by inhibiting the DNA gyrase enzyme, which is essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair.
• Disruption of DNA synthesis: By targeting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enrofloxacin disrupts bacterial DNA synthesis, preventing bacterial multiplication.
• Bactericidal action: Enrofloxacin is bactericidal, meaning it kills bacteria directly rather than merely inhibiting their growth.
