Florfenicol Powder

Pharmacological Actions:

Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the amphenicols group. It is a bacteriostatic agent that works by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. It has strong antibacterial activity against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Hemolytic Pasteurella, multi-drug resistant Pasteurella, and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae are highly sensitive to florfenicol. In vitro, florfenicol has similar or stronger antibacterial activity than thiamphenicol against many microorganisms. Some bacteria that are resistant to amphenicols due to acetylation, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, may still be sensitive to florfenicol.

It is mainly used to treat bacterial diseases in pigs, chickens, and fish caused by sensitive strains, such as respiratory diseases caused by Hemolytic Pasteurella, multi-drug resistant Pasteurella, and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in cattle and pigs. It is also used to treat Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi, chicken cholera, chicken diarrhea, and Escherichia coli infections, etc. In fish, it is used to treat bacterial septicemia, enteritis, red skin disease, and other bacterial diseases caused by Bacillus, Vibrio, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter.

Usage and Indications: Amphenicols antibiotics. It is used for infections caused by Pasteurella and Escherichia coli.


introduction

Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that belongs to the amphenicol class of antibiotics. It is a synthetic derivative of thiamphenicol and is commonly used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock and aquaculture. Florfenicol powder is a popular form of this antibiotic and is used to treat a range of bacterial infections in pigs, chickens, and fish.

Florfenicol powder is a white or off-white powder that contains the active ingredient florfenicol. It has a potent antibacterial effect and is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Florfenicol works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

One of the primary uses of florfenicol powder is for the treatment of respiratory infections in pigs and poultry. These infections are often caused by bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, which can cause severe respiratory symptoms, including coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Florfenicol powder is also effective against bacterial infections in fish, including infections caused by Vibrio anguillarum and Aeromonas salmonicida.
