Description
What is Chloramphenicol?
Chloramphenicol is a prototypical broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is a bacteriostatic made of Streptomyces venezuelae by David Gottlieb and became available for clinical application in 1949. It was the first antibiotic to be manufactured synthetically on a large scale.
The medical uses of Chloramphenicol
Chloramphenicol is used for the treatment of infections caused by numerous Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including most anaerobic organisms such as Bacillus typhi, Bacillus dysenteriae, colibacillus, Bacillus influenzae, Bacterium burgeri, pneumococcus and so on.
Because of resistance and safety concerns, Chloramphenicol is no longer a first-line agent for any infection in developed nations, with the notable exception of topical treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. However, due to its low price and easiness in manufacturing, it is widely used in developing countries.
Nevertheless, the global problem of advancing bacterial resistance to newer drugs has led to renewed interest in Chloramphenicol’s use. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. This indicates that it is one of the most important medications needed in a basic health system.
