Chloramphenicol Usage And Synthesis
Uses
Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections.This includes use as an eye ointment to treat conjunctivitis.
Description
The original indication of chloramphenicol was in the treatment of typhoid, but the now almost universal presence of multiple drug-resistant Salmonella typhi has meant it is seldom used for this indication except when the organism is known to be sensitive.
