Ceftiofur sodium (CAS 104010-37-9)

Ceftiofur sodium, a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic, has garnered attention in scientific research for its efficacy against bacterial pathogens, particularly in veterinary and agricultural settings. In research, Ceftiofur sodium has been extensively studied for its role in combating bacterial infections in livestock, such as respiratory and urinary tract infections. Its mechanism of action involves inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, leading to cell lysis and bacterial death. This antibiotic has been utilized in various in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate bacterial resistance mechanisms, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Additionally, research has explored the potential of Ceftiofur sodium as a tool for studying bacterial pathogenesis and the development of novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance. Furthermore, studies have investigated its environmental impact and potential residues in food products derived from treated animals. Overall, Ceftiofur sodium continues to be a valuable asset in scientific investigations aimed at understanding bacterial infections, antibiotic resistance, and the development of alternative control measures in veterinary and agricultural research contexts.
