New oral broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs.

Because bacteria will easily develop resistance to this product, it is not suitable to be used as an antibacterial agent alone. The combined use of trimethoprim and sulfa drugs can increase the antibacterial effect several times to dozens of times. This product is mainly used as a synergist for sulfonamides. It is generally used in a ratio of 1:5. It can also be used as a veterinary medicine to treat sepsis caused by avian coliform bacteria, pullorum, avian typhoid fever, cholera, and secondary bacterial infections of the respiratory system.
