Abstract

Rhodococcus equi taylarda yüksek oranlarda ölümlere neden olabilen hücre içi bir mikroorganizmadır. Öncelikle akciğerlerde lezyonlara neden olmakla birlikte diğer organlarda da etkili olabilmektedir. In vitro şartlarda birçok antibiyotik etkili olarak belirlenmekle birlikte tedavide çok azı kullanılabilmektedir. Atlarda sınırlı sayıda antibiyotik kullanımı tedaviyi güçleştirmektedir. Bu derlemede taylarda Rhodococcus equi enfeksiyonunda kullanılan antibiyotikler hakkında bilgiler verilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Use of Antibiotics in Rhodococcus Equi Infection in Foals

Abstract

Rhodococcus equi is an intracellular microorganism that can cause high rates of death in foals. Although it primarily causes lesions in the lungs, it can also affect other organs. Although many antibiotics have been determined to be effective under in vitro conditions, very few can be used in treatment. The limited use of antibiotics in horses makes treatment difficult. In this review, it can be tried to give information about the antibiotics used in Rhodococcus equi infection in foals.
