- chlamydophilae (zoonotic)
- Wolbachia spp. (bact. in heart worm)
- Borrelia spp (lyme’s)
- bordetella bronchiseptica (kennel cough)
drug of choice against Mycoplasma haemofelis
tetracyclines
drug of choice against anaplasma phagocytophilum
tetracyclines
how to treat heart worm
to avoid cytokine storm, should be killed very slowly
- doxycycline for 1 month : 10mg/Kg, BID
Can tetracycline be effective against protozoa
yes, most common in Hungary Babesia spp.
mechanism of resistance against tetracyclines
- impaired uptake into bacteria
- active efflux
bacterial tetracycline resistant ovo
- pseudomonas aeruginosa
- mycobacterium
tetracyclines acquired resistancy
E.Coli
Salmonella spp.
Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia Haemolytica (Gram -)
