Cephapirin
Cephapirin is an injectable, first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has a wide spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. The bactericidal activity of cephapirin results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Cephapirin is more resistant to beta-lactamases than the penicillins, and therefore is effective against staphylococci, with the exception of methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Cephapirin is FDA approved for use in food-producing animals, especially dairy cattle. Cephapirin is used for the treatment of mastitis in cows. Production for use in humans has been discontinued in the United States. It is marketed under the trade name Cefadyl. Active against gram-positive and -negative bacteria (vet. use). FDA approved for use in food producing animals, especies dairy cattle.

Streptomycin
Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by the soil actinomycete Streptomyces griseus. It acts by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible organisms and disrupting the initiation and elongation steps in protein synthesis. It is bactericidal due to effects that are not fully understood.

N-hexanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone
N-Hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (HHSL) is a type of signaling molecule known as an autoinducer, which plays a significant role in bacterial communication and behavior, particularly in processes governed by quorum sensing (QS). Here are some of its key biological functions: Quorum Sensing Signaling: HHSL is involved in quorum sensing, a mechanism by which bacteria communicate with each other to coordinate their behavior based on population density. When the concentration of HHSL reaches a certain threshold, it triggers specific responses in the bacterial population. Regulation of Gene Expression: In many bacteria, HHSL binds to specific transcriptional regulators, leading to the activation or repression of target genes. This regulation can control a variety of biological processes, including bioluminescence, biofilm formation, virulence factor production, and sporulation. Biofilm Formation: HHSL can influence the formation and maintenance of biofilms, which are complex communities of bacteria encased in a self-produced matrix. Biofilms are often associated with increased resistance to antibiotics and host immune responses. Virulence and Pathogenicity: In pathogenic bacteria, HHSL can regulate the expression of virulence factors, contributing to the bacteria’s ability to cause disease. By modulating these factors, HHSL can affect the bacteria’s interaction with the host and its ability to evade the immune system. Symbiotic Interactions: HHSL is not only important in pathogenic bacteria but also in beneficial interactions, such as those found in nitrogen-fixing bacteria or in symbiotic relationships with plants and animals. Understanding the role of HHSL and other autoinducers in bacterial communication and behavior is crucial for developing new strategies to control bacterial infections and manage biofilm-related issues.
Cephapirin
A cephalosporin with acetoxymethyl and 2(pyridin-4-ylsulfanyl)acetamido substituents at positions 3 and 7, respectively, of the cephem skeleton. It is used (as its sodium salt) as an antibiotic, being effective against gram-negative and gram-positive organisms.
