Abstract
The fluoroquinolones represent a new group of highly active antimicrobial agents. Their broad antimicrobial spectrum covers all aerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria encountered in urinary tract infections. These new quinolones are all administered orally, some also intravenously and they are usually well tolerated.
