Antibacterial Activity: Furaltadone hydrochloride exhibits antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, leading to inhibition of bacterial growth and multiplication.
Treatment of Bacterial Infections: Furaltadone hydrochloride has been used to treat bacterial infections in poultry, including infections caused by Salmonella and Escherichia coli. It has also been employed in aquaculture for the treatment of bacterial diseases in fish and shrimp.
Banned in Food Production: Furaltadone hydrochloride has been banned for use in food-producing animals in many countries due to concerns about its potential carcinogenicity and residues in food products. Residues of furaltadone and its metabolites in animal products such as meat, eggs, and milk may pose risks to human health.
Carcinogenicity: Furaltadone hydrochloride has been classified as a potential carcinogen by regulatory agencies such as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) due to its association with the development of tumors in animal studies. Chronic exposure to furaltadone may increase the risk of cancer in humans.
Safety Concerns: The use of furaltadone hydrochloride in animals intended for human consumption raises concerns about the potential transmission of antibiotic residues to humans through the consumption of contaminated food products. Exposure to furaltadone residues may have adverse effects on human health, including allergic reactions, gastrointestinal disturbances, and carcinogenicity.
Regulatory Actions: In response to safety concerns, regulatory authorities in various countries have imposed restrictions or bans on the use of furaltadone hydrochloride in food-producing animals. The European Union, for example, has prohibited the use of furaltadone in food production since 1995.
Environmental Impact: The use of furaltadone hydrochloride in agriculture and aquaculture may lead to environmental contamination, including contamination of soil, water, and aquatic ecosystems. Residues of furaltadone and its metabolites may persist in the environment and affect non-target organisms.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
