Aminoglycosides- Streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin are characterized by narrow spectra, and efficacy is limited by bacterial resistance. Gram-negative bacilli are still susceptible, including strains of Actinomyces bovis, Pasteurella spp, E coli, Salmonella spp, Campylobacter fetus, Leptospira spp, and Brucella spp. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is also sensitive to streptomycin.
The spectra of neomycin, framycetin, and kanamycin are broader, with clinical use targeting gram-negative organisms, including E coli and Salmonella, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus, and Acinetobacter spp. Aminoglycosides with spectra that include P aeruginosa (gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, sisomicin, and netilmicin) are also often highly effective against a wide variety of aerobic bacteria.

Fluid Therapy- Fluids must be administered that will concentrate within the body fluid compartment where the volume deficit lies. Crystalloids are water-based solutions with small-molecular-weight particles, freely permeable to the capillary membrane. Colloids are water-based solutions with a molecular weight too large to freely pass across the capillary membrane. Colloids are thought of as intravascular volume replacement solutions, and crystalloids as interstitial volume replacement solutions

Selection of vaccines from the Model List will need to be determined by each country after consideration of international recommendations, epidemiology and national priorities.
We note the need for vaccines to be polyvalent.

The core list presents a list of minimum medicine needs for primary healthcare services, listing the most efficacious, safe and cost-effective medicines for priority conditions. Priority conditions are selected based on current and estimated future public/animal health relevance, and potential for safe and cost-effective treatment.
The complementary list presents essential medicines for priority diseases, for which specialized diagnostic or monitoring facilities, and/or specialist medical care, and/or specialist training are needed. In case of doubt, medicines may also be listed as complementary based on consistently higher cost or less attractive cost-effectiveness in a variety of settings and wide availability in the profession.
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) welcomes the creation of this list and continues to work with both partners for its further development.
