Specifications
Target Information
Oxacillin is a narrow-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic of the penicillin class, specifically designed to resist degradation by bacterial penicillinase. In the livestock industry, it is frequently employed to treat infections caused by penicillin-resistant Staphylococci, particularly bovine mastitis in dairy cattle. Its relevance to food safety is significant because residual levels in milk, meat, or eggs can trigger hypersensitivity reactions in allergic individuals and drive the emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through food chain transmission, posing a substantial public health risk.
