Quinolones are antimicrobial agents widely used in the treatment of community-acquired infections and nosocomial infections. These bactericidal antibiotics exhibit concentration-dependent killing and show strong tissue penetration, often reaching higher levels than those found in plasma. Quinolones distribute effectively into prostatic tissue, lung tissue, bile, stool, urine, and kidneys, where renal clearance is the primary elimination pathway.
They demonstrate a notable post-antibiotic effect, particularly against gram-negative bacteria. Reported side effects may include gastrointestinal reactions (nausea, dyspepsia, vomiting) and central nervous system effects, such as dizziness, insomnia, and headache. Due to their broad activity and pharmacokinetic properties, Quinolones remain an important drug class in both clinical and veterinary medicine.
