Zabofloxacin
Zabofloxacin (DW-224a Free base) is a potent and seletive inhibitor of the bacterial type II and IV topoisomerases. Zabofloxacin has excellent activity against gram-positive pathogens including Steptococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and S.pneumonia. Zabofloxacin is a novel fluoronaphthyridone quinolone that is considered as an alternative antibiotic for treatment of quinolone-susceptible (QSSP) and quinolone-resistant gonorrhea (QRSP).

In Vitro
Zabofloxacin shows a highly potent in vitro activity against clinical isolates of penicillin-sensitive S. pneumoniae (minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC90: 0.03 mg/L) and penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae (MIC90: 0.03 mg/L). Against quinolone-resistant S. pneumoniae, zabofloxacin (MIC90: 1 mg/L) is more active than ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin, and moxifloxacin[1].

Gram Staining of Tissue Sections
Gram staining of tissue sections is a histochemical technique used to differentiate Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria within histological specimens based on differences in bacterial cell wall structure and dye retention, adapted from classical bacteriological Gram staining into tissue-compatible “histological Gram stain” variants. In tissue applications, modifications of the Brown-Hopps and Brown-Brenn methods are commonly used to improve differentiation of microorganisms embedded within host connective tissue and to reduce overstaining or loss of Gram-negative signal, which are known limitations of earlier approaches. The principle relies on crystal violet-iodine complex retention in Gram-positive organisms and subsequent decolorization and counterstaining steps that allow contrast visualization of Gram-negative organisms against tissue background.
