Difference between Antibiotic and Ofloxacin

Antibiotic vs. Ofloxacin

An antibiotic (from ancient Greek αντιβιοτικά, antibiotiká), also called an antibacterial, is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections.

Similarities between Antibiotic and Ofloxacin

Antibiotic and Ofloxacin have 21 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antimicrobial resistance, Broad-spectrum antibiotic, Cellulitis, Conjunctivitis, Corticosteroid, Ear drop, Escherichia coli, Eye drop, Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, Intravenous therapy, Liver, Multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, Pathogen, Pathogenic bacteria, Penicillin, Pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Quinolone antibiotic, Staphylococcus aureus, Syphilis.

Antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR or AR) is the ability of a microbe to resist the effects of medication that once could successfully treat the microbe.

Broad-spectrum antibiotic

The term broad-spectrum antibiotic can refer to an antibiotic that acts on the two major bacterial groups, gram-positive and gram-negative, or any antibiotic that acts against a wide range of disease-causing bacteria.

Gram-positive bacteria

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that give a positive result in the Gram stain test, which is traditionally used to quickly classify bacteria into two broad categories according to their cell wall.
