Cefquinome Sulfate is a fourth generation cephalosporin with pharmacological and antibacterial properties valuable in the treatment of coliform mastitis and other infections.
It is used in the treatment of both humans and animals. According to the Washington Post, it is used as a last line of defence to keep humans alive.There are concerns that the use of the drug in animals will lead to increases in antibiotic resistance.
Humans can be exposed to bacteria through food-borne transmission, raising chances of becoming exposed to resistant bacterial species, such as Salmonella or E. coli. The potential for the development of antibiotic resistance increases as usage increases, by selecting bacteria which have acquired beta-lactamases.
