Acid inhibits the replication and polymerization of bacterial DNA.
The medication demonstrates effectiveness against gram-negative microbes (Shigella, Friedlander's stick, Proteus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella), excluding the Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Given the sensitivity of the bacteria to the drug effect and its level inside the body, the drug may have a bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect.
