1. Tulathromycin is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle and swine respiratory disease in pigs.
2. Clinical effectiveness of tulathromycin , a novel triamilide antimicrobial, for the control of respiratory disease in cattle at high risk for developing bovine respiratory disease.
Tulathromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic developed for veterinary use, primarily targeting respiratory pathogens in swine and cattle. Its core synthesis involves the modification of tilmicosin via a specific glycosylation process to enhance stability and bioavailability. The compound features the molecular formula C52H97N3O14 with CAS number 208726-99-2.
