Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria isolated from domestic animals.

Florfenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. Its activity is due to inhibition of protein synthesis and results from the binding of bacterial ribosomes in such a way as to prevent ongoing translation of mRNA into protein. In vitro studies have shown florfenicol to have a broad spectrum of activity which includes aerobic and anaerobic bacteria which are either Gram-positive or Gram-negative.
