Mode of Action

Florfenicol is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against most Gram-positive and Gram negative bacteria isolated from domestic animals. Florfenicol, a fluorinated derivative of chloramphenicol, acts by binding to the 50s ribosomal subunit of bacteria, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and is bacteriostatic.
