Suppressive effects of antibiotics on experimentally inoculatedStaphylococcus aureuspopulations on the skin of poultry

Open full text 10 citations

Abstract

Feeds supplemented with lincomycin, novobiocin, tylosin and chlortetracycline suppressed experimentally inoculated in vitro sensitive Staphylococcus aureus skin populations on young chickens. The same effects were seen with drinking water medications containing erythromycin and spiramycin. Furazolidone-, bacitracin-, nitrovin- and virginiamycin-containing feeds and single intramuscular injections of macrolide antibiotics did not exert any detectable effects on these experimental skin colonizations.
