General description
Oxytetracycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. It is effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. The USP reference standard ensures assay precision and identity confirmation in oxytetracycline drug products.
The USP biologics antibiotics category includes a wide range of antimicrobial agents that are essential in treating bacterial infections. These antibiotics are derived from various natural sources or synthesized to combat specific pathogens effectively. The USP provides comprehensive standards, reference materials, and analytical procedures to ensure the identity, quality, purity, and consistency of antibiotic therapeutics throughout their lifecycle.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.
