More on Tylan - the livestock abx

[Guest guest]

Check this out. Tylan (Tylosin) is effective against Actinomyces! among quite a few other microorganisms. I wonder why they haven't used this on humans? Any guesses? Tylan has an antibacterial spectrum that is essentially gram-positive, but it is also active against certain spirochetes, large viruses, and certain gram-negative organisms (not including coliforms). It has also been found to be active against certain Mycoplasma species. INDICATIONS: In beef cattle and non-lactating dairy cattle, Tylan 50 Injection is indicated for use in the treatment of bovine respiratory complex (shipping fever, pneumonia) usually associated with Pasteurella multocida and Actinomyces pyogenes; foot rot (necrotic pododermatitis) and diphtheria caused by Fusobacterium necorphorum and metritis caused by

Actinomyces pyogenes. In swine, Tylan 50 Injection is indicated for use in the treatment of swine arthritis caused by Mycoplasma hyosynoviae; swine pneumonia caused by Pasteurella spp.; swine erysipelas caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae; acute swine dysentery associated with Treponema hyodysenteriae when followed by appropriate medication in the drinking water and/or feed. http://www.calvetsupply.com/browseproducts/Tylan-50---100-ml..html penny
