Pharmacological action
Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against many gram-positive cocci (gonococci and meningococci), various bacteria (Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae, Salmonella, Shigella, Klebsiella, Serration, Yersbnii, Proteus), Rickettsia, Spirochetes and some large viruses.
The drug is active against strains resistant to penicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides.
Poorly active against acid-resistant bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, clostridia and protozoa.
Acts bacteriostatically. The mechanism of antibacterial action is associated with a violation of the synthesis of proteins of microorganisms.
