Sulfadimidine sodium is a member of the sulfonamide class of antibiotics, which are synthetic antimicrobial agents that have been used in veterinary medicine for over 60 years. They are effective against a broad spectrum of bacterial and protozoal diseases .
Sulfonamides, including sulfadimidine sodium, work by inhibiting bacterial folic acid synthesis, which is essential for bacterial growth and reproduction. They are particularly effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as some protozoa. The antimicrobial action of sulfonamides involves competitive inhibition of folic acid synthesis, preventing the growth and reproduction of microorganisms .
In animals, sulfadimidine sodium is used for the treatment and prevention of various bacterial infections, including respiratory infections, intestinal infections (especially coccidia), and urinary tract infections. It is also used in the poultry industry to control coccidiosis, a disease caused by protozoa of the Eimeria genus.
