Tivalosin
• Properties:
Tivalosin is a macrolide antibiotic. Macrolide are metabolites or derivatives of
metabolites of soil organisms obtained by fermentation.
They interfere with protein synthesis by reversibly binding to the 50 S ribosome
subunit.
They are generally considered bacteriostatic.
Tivalosin has activity against pathogenic organisms isolated from a range of animal
species mainly Gram-positive organisms and mycoplasma but also some Gram-negative
organisms.
Tivalosin has activity against Mycoplasma gallisepticumin chickens.
Macrolide (including Tivalosin) have been shown to have effects on the innate immune
system, which may augment the direct effects of the antibiotic on the pathogen and aid
the clinical situation.
