What does Spectramast DC Dry Cow Formula do?
Ceftiofur, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, belongs to the cephalosporin class. These antibiotics work by inhibiting the synthesis of the cell wall. Like other types of ß-lactam antimicrobials, cephalosporin antibiotics enact this synthesis by interfering with the specific enzymes that cause peptidoglycan synthesis. This results in bacterial cell lysis, which is responsible for the bactericidal action.
