Symptoms of Problems for Which Spectinomycin is Used:

• Respiratory infections such as Mycoplasma and bacterial pneumonia.
• Gastrointestinal infections including colibacillosis (E. coli infections) and salmonellosis.
• Secondary bacterial infections in weakened or stressed livestock.
• Growth retardation and decreased productivity due to bacterial illnesses.

Use Cases:

• Poultry: Treats respiratory infections like chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and colibacillosis.
• Swine: Addresses enteritis caused by E. coli and other bacterial pathogens.
• Cattle: Used for bacterial enteritis and systemic infections.

How to Use?

1. Preparation: Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
2. Dosage Measurement: Refer to the dosage chart for precise calculations based on weight.
3. Administration: Administer orally using a syringe or as directed by your veterinarian.
4. Frequency: Ensure the prescribed frequency is adhered to for optimal results.

How It Works?

Spectinomycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by targeting the 30S ribosomal subunit. This disrupts bacterial growth and replication, leading to the elimination of infection and recovery of the animal.

2. Is spectinomycin an aminoglycoside? Spectinomycin is chemically related to aminoglycosides but belongs to the aminocyclitol class of antibiotics.

3. Does spectinomycin degrade at room temperature? Spectinomycin hydrochloride is stable in the dry state for 36 months when stored at controlled room temperature (20° to 25°C or 68° to 77°F). Once reconstituted, the suspension should be stored at room temperature and used within 24 hours.

4. How does spectinomycin kill bacteria? Spectinomycin binds to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis and leading to bacterial cell death.

5. Should lincomycin-spectinomycin be administered to layer hens? The administration of lincomycin-spectinomycin to layer hens is generally not recommended due to potential residues in eggs. Always consult a veterinarian before administering any medication to laying hens.

6. What class of antibiotic is spectinomycin? Spectinomycin belongs to the aminocyclitol class of antibiotics, which is closely related to aminoglycosides.
