Yes: Ciprofloxacin is a quinolone, and has no cross-reactivity with the others mentioned.

Probably: You have listed four different chemical classes of antibiotics; Ciprofloxacin is not known to be cross reactive with the other three. However, there is never any guarantee that you won't be allergic to a new antibiotic; there is always the possibility you might react to a new one. The only thing to do is take it, and watch for any adverse effects.
