- Applications
  - Application Description
    
    Spectrum: Furazolidone is a broad-spectrum antibiotic targeting bacteria responsible for gastrointestinal infections.
    
    Microbiology Applications: Furazolidone is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options for infected patients. Representative MIC values include:
    Treponema hyodysenteriae 0.1 µg/mL – 1.56 µg/mL
