A laboratory study was performed in order to identify the possible cause of death in chipmunks (Tamias sibiricus) imported from China with respiratory disease. Severe congestion, alveolar oedema and fibrinous pleuritis were observed. Biochemical analyses identified the causative organism as Pasteurella haemolytica. An in vitro susceptibility test using various antimicrobial agents revealed sensitivity to beta-lactams (ampicillin and amoxicillin) and streptomycin.

D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.
