DESCRIPTION

VETKOFOS T WSP is a combination of Fosfomycin and tylosin which have a synergetic action on bacteria. Fosfomycin (FOS) is a natural bactericidal broad-spectrum antibiotic which acts on proliferating bacteria by inhibiting cell wall and early murein/peptidoglycan synthesis. Fosfomycin is used for the treatment of infections caused by sensitive Gram positives and Gram negatives bacteria such as: Salmonella spp., E. coli, Pasteurella spp., Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Haemophilus spp., Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. Tylosin is a macrolide antibiotic with bacteriostatic action. Tylosin is active against more aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive bacteria, atypical mycobacteria (Mycobacterium spp., Mycoplasma spp., Chlamydia spp. and Ricketsia spp) and acts also against some strains of gramnegative bacteria such as Pasteurella spp., Haemophilus spp. and Neisseria spp.

Fructose 1.6-diphosphate is a fructose sugar very common in cells because of conversion of the main glucose and fructose acquired.

 

INDICATIONS

VETKOFOS T WSP is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections in broilers caused by microorganisms susceptible to Fosfomycin and tylosin.
