Pharmacology: Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic originally isolated from Streptomyces venezuelae. It is primarily bacteriostatic and acts by inhibiting protein synthesis by interfering with the transfer of activated amino acids from soluble RNA to ribosomes. Development of resistance to Chloramphenicol is minimal for staphylococci and many other species of bacteria.
