Tylvalosin is a new macrolide antibiotic having both bacteriostatic & bactericidal activity. The additional benefit of Tylvalosin is that its metabolite, 3-AT has also antimicrobial activity. Tylvalosin can act intracellularly and reaches relatively high intracellular concentration in phagocytic cells (macrophages and neutrophils). The activity of macrophages can be specifically increased and this may help the innate (nonspecific) immune system. It inhibits protein synthesis of bacteria by binding with 50s ribosomal subunit
Good management and hygiene practices should be followed to reduce the risk of re-infection.
