Nitrofurantoin works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes involved in the metabolism of certain compounds, leading to the disruption of bacterial DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis.

Researchers may use nitrofurantoin as a selective agent by incorporating it into culture media to promote the growth of cells or organisms that have been genetically engineered to express resistance to this antibiotic. It may have applications in microbiology and cell culture experiments, particularly in the context of antibiotic selection.
