Sulfameth, or sulfamethoxazole, is an antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. It works by inhibiting bacterial folic acid synthesis, thus disrupting their growth and replication. It's often used in combination with trimethoprim to enhance its efficacy and broaden its spectrum of activity, making it effective for treating urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and certain gastrointestinal infections. Additionally, it has a relatively low cost and is widely available, contributing to its usefulness in clinical settings.
