Les quinolones non fluorées (acide oxolinique, fluméquine, acide pipémidique) sont issues de l'acide nalidixique. Elles sont indiquées dans les infections urinaires courantes (cystite secondaire à des bactéries à Gram négatif). [...] Les quinolones fluorées appelées également fluoroquinolones (quinolone de deuxième génération) possèdent un spectre d'action plus large que les précédentes. Ce sont : la ciprofloxacine, l'ofloxacine, la péfloxacine. Cette variété d'antibiotiques est utilisée dans les infections sévères, pour les germes sensibles touchant les organes respiratoires, digestifs, cutanés et les méninges. 3, record 5, French, - fluoroquinolone
