Used primarily in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in livestock, poultry, and pets. It is effective against a range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, often administered via injection. In agriculture, it helps control bacterial diseases in crops, particularly in seed treatments to prevent infections during germination. Additionally, it is employed in aquaculture to manage bacterial outbreaks in fish and other aquatic organisms. Its use in human medicine is limited due to potential side effects, but it may be reserved for specific cases where other antibiotics are ineffective. Proper dosage and administration are crucial to minimize resistance development and ensure efficacy.
