Ozenoxacin is a quinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA replication by targeting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. This action effectively halts bacterial cell division, leading to the elimination of the infection.

O2-Bact Cream is primarily prescribed for the topical treatment of impetigo, a highly contagious superficial skin infection characterized by red sores that may rupture, ooze, and form a yellow-brown crust. It is effective against both Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, the common causative bacteria of impetigo.
