Integrating Drug Physicochemistry and Hfq-Dependent Regulation of Ciprofloxacin Accumulation in Escherichia coli

Ciprofloxacin (CIP), an amphoteric fluoroquinolone, undergoes pH-dependent changes in protonation state that influence membrane permeability and intracellular accumulation. Here, we investigated how drug physicochemistry and bacterial regulatory pathways jointly determine CIP acc...
