Clinical impact of newer quinolones: influence on normal microflora
Abstract
This review article summarizes the published data concerning the impact of ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin on the oropharyngeal and intestinal human microflora. The use of ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin for selective decontamination in compromised patients and for prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infections is also reviewed.
