The pharmacokinetics and dosage regimen of oxytetracycline were determined in healthy and febrile cross-bred calves following its single intravenous administration (10 mg kg-1). Fever was induced by a single intravenous injection of E. coli endotoxin (1 microgram kg-1 i.v.). The elimination half-life (t1/2 beta) and the apparent volume of distribution [vd(area)] were slightly increased in febrile calves, as compared to healthy animals. The values of t1/2 beta and Vd(area) were 3.22 +/- 0.20 h and 0.49 +/- 0.02 L. kg-1 in healthy calves and 4.06 +/- 0.32 h and 0.70 +/- 0.09 L kg-1, respectively, in febrile calves. An intravenous dosage regimen suitable for maintaining the minimum therapeutic plasma concentration of > or = 2 micrograms/ml in febrile animals would be 10 mg kg-1 repeated at 12-h intervals.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

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
