Abstract: In recent years, more and more studies have been focused on the treatment of tuberculosis by fluoroquinolones. Fluoroquinolones have strong bactericidal effects on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. At present, it plays an important role in the clinical treatment of tuberculosis. However, there are many unreasonable phenomena in its application. In this review, we reviewed the progress of fluoroquinolones application in the treatment of newly diagnosed, recurrent, and drug-resistant tuberculosis, in order to provide a basis for better selection of fluoroquinolones in the treatment of tuberculosis.
