We report the draft genome of Streptomyces rimosus (ATCC 10970), a soil isolate that produces oxytetracycline, a commercially important and clinically useful antibiotic.

This study was designed to quantify the residual concentrations of some antibiotics such as oxytetracycline (tetracycline), ciprofloxacin (quinolones group), enrofloxacin group) and levofloxacin in broiler production systems. For quantification antibiotic residues (ARs), a rapid, simple accurate method has been developed validated for simultaneous identification oxytetracycline, ciprofloxacin, ...

Anaplasmosis is a fatal infectious disease affecting small ruminants all over the world. Haematological analysis and therapeutic evaluation of anaplasmosis were done in clinically affected goats from Thrissur district, Kerala this study. A total 100 blood samples collected microscopically examined using Field’s staining technique for which revealed 50 per cent positivity. Infected showed signif...

A blinded, randomised GCP study was performed to investigate the efficacy of a single injection of long-acting oxytetracycline (OXY) and flunixin (FLU) in young calves suffering from acute respiratory disease. Tilmicosine (TIL) and oxytetracycline alone were used as positive controls. Six hours post-treatment, rectal temperature in animals treated with OXY/FLU had decreased and was significantl...

A double-blind trial of oxytetracycline (Imperacin-I.C.I.) and tetracycline hydrochloride in a sustained-release formulation (Tetrabid-Organon) was carried out on 259 men suffering from non-specific urethritis. Patients who had NSU in the preceeding 3 months were excluded from the trial. The response to treatment assessed at 10 days was favourable in ninety patients out of 129 (35 per cent.) wh...

After the discovery of indiscriminate antibiotic use in ready-for-slaughter cattle in south-western Nigeria, 90 tissue samples from randomly selected slaughtered cattle were evaluated for oxytetracycline and penicillin-G residues using high performance liquid chromatography and the data analysed by one-way Analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed residues of oxytetracycline (kidney: ...

The fate of antibiotic residues in the manure of treated animals is of considerable concern because of the potential development of antibioticresistant bacteria in the environment and because of the effect of these residues on manure treatment systems. The objective of this study was to determine the fate and effect of oxytetracycline (OTC) during the anaerobic digestion of manure from medicate...
