  • INDICATION:

    Aivlosin®17%(Tylvalosin Type A Medicated Article)

Mechanism of action (1)

Species not stated (1)
  • Tylvalosin is a 16-membered semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. Macrolides are generally considered to be bacteriostatic agents that exert their antibiotic effect by reversibly binding to the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. The spectrum of activity of most available macrolides used in veterinary medicine is primarily against Gram-positive bacteria and Mycoplasmas, with some activity against Gram-negative fastidious bacteria. These compounds have no activity against the naturally resistant Enterobacteriaceae including Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. Typically, macrolides achieve higher concentrations in tissues than in plasma.
