ANTI-INFECTIVE DRUGS


E.Coli

Antiobiotics are a very diverse group of drugs designed to attack microbial infections. Here we will discuss each of the main groups of antiobiotics and for each group how they work, their spectrum of activity, pharmacokinetic considerations and common side effects. We will also discuss antibacterial resistance, how this has come about and what it means for the veterinary profession.

Please note that we shall not discuss their suggested clinical use. We hope these pages will aid people in deciding on which antibiotic is best to use in an infection, but will not cloud clinical judgement by giving specific recommendations.
