The efficacy of 5 drugs was tested against experimental Babesia felis infection in domestic cats. Two of the drugs, rifampicin and a sulphadiazine-trimethoprim combination, appeared to have an anti-parasitic effect, but were inferior to primaquine. The other 3 drugs, buparvaquone, enrofloxacin and danofloxacin, had no significant anti-babesial effect.

The in vitro susceptibilities of 76 isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae collected from pigs with pleuropneumonia were tested with 12 commonly used antimicrobial drugs by an agar dilution minimal inhibitory concentration procedure according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) guidelines. Field isolates had low MICs for ceftiofur, danofloxacin and penicillin. N...

OBJECTIVES Cefixime (Cfx), is a semi-synthetic third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic that is prescribed for the treatment of susceptible infections. There are some procedures for the determination of Cfx in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples. Herein a spectrofluorimetric method was proposed for Cfx determination based on the fluorescence quenching of terbium-danofloxaci...

This study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetics of danofloxacin in Gushi chickens after a single oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) dose at 5 mg/kg body weight (BW). Thirty-two chickens, aged 20 weeks, were selected divided into two groups random, with each group consisting 16 evenly distributed between males females. Following administration, blood samples taken predetermined time intervals pla...

An efficient procedure for the simultaneous extraction and analysis of six fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics is developed using an automated microdialysis-liquid chromatographic (LC) system. In this method, samples extracted from chicken liver and muscle are further purified by microdialysis, separated on an LC column, and the FQs detected by their fluorescence. Recoveries from fortified chicken...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate an experimental model of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship of danofloxacin against Mannheimia haemolytica infection, using subcutaneously implanted tissue cages in calves. METHODS Tissue cages implanted subcutaneously in calves were infected with M. haemolytica and different concentration-time profiles of danofloxacin were simulated. Drug concentra...
