quinolones

drugs that have good effect against all species of chicken coccidia but have a bad tendency to generate resistant strains and are now rarely used for that purpose; newer derivatives are used as antibacterials.

quinolones

A class of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs of which the main ophthalmic agents are ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin. They are used topically in 0.3% solution.
