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)

Polymyxin- The polymyxins are more effective against gram-negative than gram-positive bacteria. The polymyxins’ rather narrow spectrum includes Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Pasteurella, Bordetella, Shigella, Pseudomonas spp, and Escherichia coli. (Reference: MSD Veterinary Manual)

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.
