Pharmacokinetics and lung tissue concentrations of tulathromycin, a new triamilide antibiotic, in cattle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pharmacokinetics of the new triamilide antibiotic tulathromycin was investigated in two cattle studies. Following a single subcutaneous injection, the drug was rapidly absorbed and bioavailability was excellent. High and persistent levels of the drug in lung tissue were observed as well. These attributes are advantageous for an antimicrobial drug indicated for the treatment of bacterial and mycoplasmal respiratory diseases in cattle.

Mannheimia haemolytica isolated from feedlot cattle were tested for tulathromycin resistance. Cattle were sampled over a 3-year period, starting 12 months after approval of tulathromycin for prevention and treatment of bovine respiratory disease. Nasopharyngeal samples from approximately 5,814 cattle were collected when cattle entered feedlots (N = 4) and again from the same cattle after ≥60 da...
