Ethambutol (Cat No.: I004765) is an antimycobacterial compound that prevents cell wall formation by inhibiting the activity of arabinosyltransferase. This product has an anti-tuberculosis effect, and it still has an inhibitory effect on tuberculosis resistance to commonly used anti-tuberculosis drugs. Its antibacterial effect is weaker than that of isoniazid and similar to that of streptomycin. Ineffective against other bacteria and fungi.
