Antimicrobial compositions

Abstract

The present invention relates to antimicrobial compositions and more specifically compositions of quinolone carboxylic acid derivatives. These compositions have improved solubility, stability, and tolerability. These compositions are useful for intravenous administration for treating, preventing, or reducing the risk of infection.
