Product Information

• Name: Cefquinome
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cefquinome is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which is a fourth-generation cephalosporin. It is derived from the β-lactam class of antibiotics and is specifically designed for veterinary applications. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. This action is facilitated through the binding of cefquinome to penicillin-binding proteins, which undermines the structural integrity of bacterial cell walls, proving effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
