Antimicrobial Spectrum
Baytril is active against the majority of primary and secondary pathogens of the respiratory tract in dogs and cats. It has excellent activity against Bordetella bronchiseptica, mycoplasmas, as well as chlamydiae.
A number of clinical reports also suggest that it might be active in cases of atypic myco- bacterial infections in cats (14).
Baytril's spectrum also covers relevant Gram-negative or Gram-positive invaders, which take advantage of pathologic changes in the respiratory epithelium caused by primary pathogens.
