Abstract

The fluorinated quinolones and the third generation cephalosporins are highly efficacious against gram-negative bacteria. Danofloxacin* and ceftiofur** are newly developed antimicrobials belonging to the fluoroquinolones and third generation cephalosporins, respectively. Danofloxacin and ceftiofur are very active against major bacterial pathogens in farm animals1,2. The objective of the present study was to investigate the bactericidal effect and time-kill kinetics exerted by danofloxacin and ceftiofur on bovine respiratory pathogens.

A small farm is nestled among rolling hills, fields stretching across a curving road that disappears between dark green trees. The barn is a cheery red color with a tin roof. Beneath the photo is the a statement of the conference's theme in white italics: Challenges of the Bovine Industry in the Twenty-First Century. Deep red background.
