Carbadox（Cat No.:R009472）is an antimicrobial agent commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in livestock, particularly in swine. It is a member of the quinoxaline family and is effective against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Carbadox works by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis, preventing the replication of harmful microorganisms. It is often used to control diseases like swine dysentery and proliferative enteropathy, and is sometimes included in feed as a growth promoter. Its use is regulated, and its residues are monitored to ensure food safety.
