Specifications
Target Information
Ofloxacin is a second-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. In the veterinary sector, it has historically been used for treating respiratory, urinary, and gastrointestinal infections in livestock and poultry. However, it is a significant food safety concern because it belongs to a class of "critically important antimicrobials" for human medicine. The presence of ofloxacin residues in meat, milk, or eggs can lead to the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria and potential hypersensitivity reactions in consumers. Consequently, many countries have prohibited its use in food-producing animals or established rigorous surveillance for its residues.
