Levofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, is an extensively used antibiotic effective against both positively and negatively staining bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial topoisomerase type II and topoisomerase type IV, resulting in impaired DNA synthesis and bacterial cell death. Eryptosis is another term for apoptotic cell death of erythrocyte marked by cell shrinkage, phosphatidylserine (PS) flipping, and membrane blebbing.
