Ceftiofur is an antibiotic of the cephalosporin type (third generation), licensed for use in veterinary medicine. It was first described in 1987.[3] It is marketed by pharmaceutical company Zoetis as Excenel,[4] Naxcel, and Excede and is also the active ingredient in that company's Spectramast LC (lactating cow formulation) and Spectramast DC (dry cow formulation) product.[citation needed]

It is resistant to the antibiotic resistance enzyme beta-lactamase, and has activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Escherichia coli strains resistant to ceftiofur have been reported.[5]

The metabolite desfuroylceftiofur also has antibiotic activity.[6] The two compounds are measured together to measure for antibiotic activity in milk (alongside other antibiotics).[7]
