Antibacterial Spectrum
Baytril is active against most relevant bacteria in small animal practice. The antibacterial spectrum includes Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms, mycoplasmas and members of the Rickettsiales family (Rickettsia, Ehrlichia and Chlamydia species) (1), (2), (3). Baytril has also been reported to act against atypical mycobacterial infections in cats (4), (5).
