Sulfonamides (SN) or sulfanilamides belong to an important class of synthetic antimicrobial drugs that are pharmacologically used as broad spectrum for the treatment of human and animal bacterial infections.
Sulfonamides inhibit multiplication of bacteria by acting as competitive inhibitors of p-aminobenzoic acid in the folic acid metabolism cycle. Bacterial sensitivity is the same for the various sulfonamides, and resistance to one sulfonamide indicates resistance to all. Most sulfonamides are readily absorbed orally.
