Chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is synthesized or derived from the bacterium Streptomyces venezuelae. It operates by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, hence impeding their growth. Renowned for its effectiveness against a variety of microorganisms, Chloramphenicol is used in the treatment of serious infections, particularly when other antibiotics are ineffective or contraindicated.
