GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
Ceftiofur, a semisynthetic cephalosporin, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including beta-lactamase-producing bacterial strains and anaerobes. Its antibacterial activity results from the inhibition of mucopeptide synthesis in the cell wall in a similar fashion to other cephalosporins. Ceftiofur is used in the treatment of respiratory infections in cattle and pigs. The chemical designation is [6r-[6a,7b(z)]]-7-[[(2-amino-4- thiazolyl)(methoxyimino)acetyl]amino]- 3-[[2-furanylcarbonyl)thio] methyl]-8-oxo-5-thia- 1-azabicyclo [4.2.0] oct-2-ene-2- carboxylic acid. The sodium and hydrochloride salts are administered intramuscularly and intravenously.
