摘要

Background: Levofloxacin (LVX) is one of the fluoroquinolone antibiotics that possess a wide spectrum of bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Because of its side effects and its potential towards the development of antibiotic resistance, determination of this antibiotic is very important. New methods which have superior properties than the conventional methods are needed in the determination of pharmaceuticals in different samples.
