Mode of Action Matters
Pradalex has equal affinity for both enzymes responsible for DNA replication in both gram-negative and gram-positive organisms1. Pradalex is a potent fluoroquinolone antibiotic4. Because Pradalex is bactericidal and targets DNA, it kills bacteria in both the resting and growth phases of bacterial development.5,6
