Description

Sulfacetamide is an antimicrobial agent that is used in the treatment of infectious diseases. The optimum concentration for sulfacetamide is between 0.2 and 1 mg/L, and it has inhibitory properties against Gram-positive bacteria such as S. aureus and S. pyogenes. Sulfacetamide has been shown to be effective in wastewater treatment by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics, such as tetracycline and erythromycin. It also shows inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The chemical structure of sulfacetamide consists of a sulfonamide group (S=O) with a carbonyl group (-C=O) attached to the sulfur atom (S). This structure allows it to act as an inhibitor of bacterial enzymes responsible for synthesizing proteins from amino acids or
