How does Svizlevo work?

Svizlevo works by inhibiting two bacterial enzymes: DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are crucial for bacterial DNA replication and repair. By blocking these enzymes, Svizlevo prevents the bacteria from replicating and repairing their DNA, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death. This action makes Svizlevo effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
