Application


  • Antibacterial applications in poultry: A study investigating Escherichia coli isolates from broilers with cellulitis highlights ciprofloxacin′s role in treating bacterial infections in poultry, emphasizing its effectiveness in agricultural antibiotic practices and its impact on animal health (Müller et al., 2024).

  • Nanocarrier drug delivery: Research on pH-sensitive nanocarriers for ciprofloxacin delivery discusses the development of chitosan-g-poly(itaconic acid) based systems, showcasing advanced drug delivery technologies that enhance the efficacy of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin in combating resistant bacterial strains (Kumar and Kumar, 2024).

  • Photocatalytic decontamination: A study on Fe-O-Bi electron migration in a Z-scheme heterojunction for photocatalytic decontamination underscores the broader applications of ciprofloxacin beyond its primary use, providing insights into environmental management of pharmaceutical pollutants (Song et al., 2024).

  • Endodontic applications: A case report on the atypical healing of an endodontic lesion following emergency treatment with ciprofloxacin provides valuable data on its application in dental care, particularly in managing infections post-dental procedures (Asgary and Talebzadeh, 2024).

  • Hospital-acquired infections: Genomic characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a hospital setting discusses the role of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin in controlling outbreaks, highlighting the importance of molecular studies in understanding and managing hospital-acquired infections (Huang et al., 2024).
