Definition of quinolone in English:

quinolone

noun ˈkwɪnələʊnˈkwinəˌlōn
mass noun
  • An antibiotic derived from quinoline and used chiefly against Gram-negative organisms.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • When used in combination with agents from other antibiotic classes, such as beta-lactams and aminoglycosides, the quinolones are not predictably synergistic.
    • Drugs that have been implicated include penicillin, aminopenicillins, sulfonamides, allopurinol, thiazides, quinolones, hydantoins, and propylthiouracil.
    • The patient was treated with quinolones with significant improvement but died 1 month later, apparently from upper airway obstruction.
    • Tetracycline or quinolones for a period of 6 months or until nasal biopsies are negative are recommended.
    • In addition, one study reported an eightfold increase in a medication-resistant food-poisoning bacteria after the antibiotic - quinolone - was approved to be used in chickens.
    • Patients with prior exposure to any of the quinolones are likely to develop resistance to other quinolones.
    • The original quinolone antibiotics included nalidixic acid, cinoxacin and oxolinic acid (no longer available in the United States).
    • Resistance to quinolones can also develop because of alterations in bacterial permeability and the development of efflux pumps.
    • These agents can bind to several drug classes including quinolones, and tetracyclines.
    • The quinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics.
    • Persons who have a history of hypersensitivity to levofloxacin, quinolone antimicrobial agents or any other components of the medication should not use levofloxacin.
    • The second-generation quinolones have increased gram-negative activity, as well as some gram-positive and atypical pathogen coverage.
    • New information includes the wider spread of quinolone resistance to Neisseria gonorrhoeae and the need for follow-up testing in women treated for chlamydial infection.
    • Ciprofloxacin given orally shows rapid selectivity, which promotes resistance, and quinolones are not recommended in adolescents because of the associated risk of arthropathy.
    • And it interacts with several common medications, including bronchodilators, the quinolone class of antibiotics, and anti-anxiety drugs.
    • Because of their extensive gram-negative coverage, quinolone antibiotics were initially used to treat urinary tract infections.
    • Diabetic foot infections, which are polymicrobial, can be treated with quinolones in combination with other antibiotics.
    • The main chemical feature that distinguishes fluoroquinolones from the early quinolones is the presence of a fluorine at position six.
    • Tendon injuries are a known important complication of treatment with quinolone antibiotics, especially in elderly people and when used in conjunction with corticosteroids.
    • Future trials should also examine long term outcomes, recurrence rate, long term survival, and the development of resistant pathogens, particularly with quinolones.

Origin

1930s: from quin- (in quinoline) + -one.
