Pelvic inflammatory disease caused by
Neisseria gonnorhea and
Chlamydia trachomatis
infectious and inflammatory disorder of the upper female genital tract, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and adjacent pelvic structures
Pelvic inflammatory disease
What is the biochemical mechanism of action of the quinolone
Inhibits DNA gyrase
Enzymes that assist in formation of superhelicesand regulate the breaking and rejoining of the DNA chain
Topoisomerase
interfere with bacterial DNA synthesis
Fluoroquinolones
blocks relaxation of supercoiledDNA
topoisomeraseII (DNA gyrase) in gram-negative organisms
interferes with the separation of replicated chromosomal DNA during cell division
Topoisomerase IV in gram positive
usually bactericidal against susceptible organisms •exhibit postantibioticeffect

urinary tract infections
1st generation
gram negatives, gonococci, gram positive cocciand Mycoplasma
2nd generation
less gram negative and more gram positive activity, streptococci and enterococci
3rd generation
broad spectrum, including anaerobes–with increasing generation, increasing gram positive activity
4th generation
increasing generation leads to increasing gram negative activity
Cephalosporin
Inhibits DNA replication bybinding to DNA gyraseand topoisomerase IV. Bactericidal
Ciproploxacin
Ciprofoxacin toxicity
Tendinitis and tendon rupture
FloroquinoLONES hurt attachment to your

Cartilage damage
As the two strands of the double helix are separated, a problem is encountered, namely
Positive super coils
Supertwist
Theaccumulating positive supercoils interfere with further unwinding of the
Double helix
If the cord is twisted in the direction of tightening the coils, the cord will wrap around itself in space to form
Positive super coils
