2. 4th generation:

2.1. Moxifloxacin (PO, IV) Gemifloxacin (PO) Delafloxacin (PO, IV)

2.2. SAME 2ND AN 3RF G + Anaerobes (only moxifloxacin) TB (only moxifloxacin) MRSA (only Delafloxacin)

3. Note: o DDI: inhibits P450 enzyme and increases plasma levels of theophylline and warfarin. o Levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin: oral alternatives for pseudomonas infections. o Moxifloxacin: • Hepatic elimination, no need for renal dose adjustment • Not used for UTI due to poor penetration
