Description
Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This antibiotic is classified within the amphenicol group of antibiotics. It is used to treat several poultry diseases like Colibacillosis, Pneumonia, Salmonellosis, Pullorum disease,
Fowl Typhoid, Fowl Cholera etc. Florfenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits of susceptible bacteria, leading to the inhibition of peptidyl transferase and thereby
preventing the transfer of amino acids to growing peptide chains and subsequent protein formation.
