La lévofloxacine est l'isomère lévogyre de l'ofloxacine. Son mécanisme d’action est identique aux autres fluoroquinolones : elle inhibe la gyrase de l'ADN, une enzyme essentielle à la réplication bactérienne. L'activité antibactérienne est semblable à celle de la ciprofloxacine. Par contre, la lévofloxacine est active contre une plus grande gamme de bactéries gram-positives et a une action plus puissante sur celles-ci. 1, record 2, French, - l%C3%A9vofloxacine
