In medicine, quinolones are antibiotics that are "a group of derivatives of naphthyridine carboxylic acid, quinoline carboxylic acid, or nalidixic acid."[1] Nadixilic acid's effects are localized to the urinary tract, but it was the first quinolone in general use. The subsequent quinolones, with broader spectra, were fluorinated and are often called fluoroquinolones.
'Respiratory quinolones' are levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, or moxifloxacin. However, gatifloxacin can cause dysglycemia.[2]
'Antipseudomonal quinolones' are ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin
