Non-Ionophore Antibiotics: A Concise Overview of Avoparcin, Bacitracin, Flavomycin, Tylosin, Virginiamycin and Vancomycin
Description
Non-ionophore antibiotics play an important role in modern agriculture and animal husbandry as growth promoters and agents to inhibit and treat bacterial infections especially in livestock. Among them, avoparcin, bacitracin, flavomycin, tylosin, and virginiamycin are widely used for their effectiveness and safety. This article provides a brief yet informative overview of these non-ionophore antibiotics.
