Essential Veterinary Medicines List

Penicillins- Beta-lactam antimicrobials impair the development of bacterial cell walls by interfering with transpeptidase enzymes responsible for the formation of the cross-links between peptidoglycan strands. These enzymes are associated with a group of proteins in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria called the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). (Reference: MSD Veterinary Manual)

Pyridine- coccidiostat used for prevention and treatement of coccidiosis

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.

Emergency Medicines

Sedatives and Anaesthetic Agents

Macrolide- Macrolides are active against most aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive bacteria, although there is considerable variation as to potency and activity. In general, macrolides are not active against gram-negative bacteria; however, some strains of Pasteurella, Haemophilus, and Neisseria spp may be susceptible. Exceptions include tilmicosin, gamithromycin, and tulathromycin, for which the spectra are characterized as broader and include Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida, as well as some gram-negative bacteria (ie, some strains of Pasteurella, Haemophilus, and Neisseria spp).Azithromycin includes Bordetella in its spectrum. (Reference: MSD Veterinary Manual)

Cyclic Polypeptides The spectrum of bacitracins is broad, but it is used primarily to treat gram-positive infections. Resistance is rare. Bacitracins are often used in combination with neomycin and polymyxins to enhance the antibacterial spectrum. (Reference: MSD Veterinary Manual)
