What is Pefloxacin?
Active Ingredients: Pefloxacin
Pefloxacin Tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in birds and poultry. It is indicated for respiratory infections, including Mycoplasmosis, chronic respiratory disease (CRD) complex, mixed bacterial infections, and secondary bacterial infections due to viral diseases.
Pefloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic that is active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase, and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are essential for DNA synthesis within the bacteria.
Pefloxacin displays bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus, Clostridium Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Pasteurella, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Haemophilia, and Mycoplasma.
