Sulfaguanidine（Cat No.:A000671）is a sulfonamide antibiotic primarily used to treat gastrointestinal infections, particularly in veterinary medicine. It inhibits bacterial growth by interfering with folic acid synthesis, a critical pathway for DNA and RNA production in bacteria. Sulfaguanidine is poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, making it effective in targeting localized infections within the gut. It has been used to manage enteric infections caused by susceptible organisms, providing broad antibacterial coverage in treating conditions like colitis and dysentery. Known for its low toxicity, it is valuable for treating infections without systemic absorption.
