General Comments

This article needs a bit of an overhaul. Most importantly, it needs references to backup the information. Secondly, it contains too much jargon and technical details (e.g. AUCs) and is not written in a generaly-acessible encyclopedic style. Some sections contin lists that do not belong in the body text as currently written; for example the section under Mechanism of Action listing IC50s. This would be best presented in a formatted table. The following statement sounds overly promotional and needs to be rephrased in a more NPOV manner: "As it is obvious from the above, that gemifloxacin is the most potent fluoroquinolone against S. pneumoniae esp. against multidrug resistant-, ciprofloxacin-resistant, and even levofloxacin-resistant strains." Overall, the flow of information is too choppy; much of the information seems like it was lifted from a product brochure. I suggest to anyone who wants to tackle this that they should emulate some of the other antibiotic articles, such as vancomycin or moxifloxacin for example.
