Nalidixic Acid - CAS 389-08-2

Nalidixic Acid (CAT: A000918) holds the distinction of being the pioneer among synthetic quinolone antibiotics. Its spectrum of action is primarily directed towards gram-negative bacteria, with limited effectiveness against gram-positive strains. The compound exhibits bacteriostatic activity at lower concentrations, effectively halting bacterial growth and replication. However, at higher concentrations, it displays bactericidal properties, actively eliminating bacterial populations instead of merely restraining their growth.
