The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of apramycin, a unique aminocyclitol antibiotic, for 100 Escherichia coli isolates recovered from clinical cases of avian colibacillosis were determined using the agar dilution method. All isolates were inhibited at apramycin concentration of 8.0 micrograms/ml; 90 and 50% of the isolates were inhibited at 6.6 and 3.4 micrograms/ml, respectively. A commercial injectable product containing 200 mg apramycin/ml was administered intramuscularly (i.m.) to groups of 6- and 12-week-old turkeys at 10, 15 and 20 mg/kg. Apramycin was quickly absorbed from the i.m. injection site. Mean peak serum drug concentrations were reached 1 h after treatment and were 19.5, 27.5 and 36.0 micrograms/ml, respectively. The serum elimination half-life (t 1/2) of the drug ranged between 1.75 h for the 10 mg/kg dose and 2.5 h for the 20 mg/kg dose. Very low concentrations of the drug were found 24 h after treatment. Duration of serum apramycin concentrations in relation to the MIC, dose, and age of birds was determined.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
