Among the different antibiotic classes, tetracyclines and sulfonamides are two of the most used for veterinary proposals. Due to the fact that these compounds are poorly absorbed in the gut of animals, a significant proportion (up to ~90%) of them are excreted unchanged, thus reaching the environment mainly through the application of manures and slurries as fertilizers in agricultural fields. Once in the soil, antibiotics are subjected to a series of physicochemical and biological processes, which depend both on the antibiotic nature and soil characteristics. Adsorption/desorption to soil particles and degradation are the main processes that will affect the persistence, bioavailability, and environmental fate of these pollutants, thus determining their potential impacts and risks on human and ecological health.

  • Common Oral Antibiotics for Horses Antibiotics Are Commonly Used In
    Common Oral Antibiotics for Horses Antibiotics are commonly used in horses for a variety of conditions. In order to determine which antibiotic is appropriate for a specific condition, a culture of the affected area needs to be performed. The culture is sent to a lab where the bacteria are grown and identified. A sensitivity test is then performed to find out which antibiotics will be effective. Some of the more common oral antibiotics in horses include trimethoprim sulfa, metronidazole, enrofloxacin, and chloramphenicol. Trimethoprim sulfa (SMZ, TMS, sulfa tabs) is an antibiotic which has a broad spectrum of activity against a variety of bacteria. It is broken down by the liver and excreted in the urine. Side effects of this drug include diarrhea, allergic reactions, and effects on the blood, including decreased number of red blood cells (anemia), decreased number of platelets (thrombocytopenia), and decreased number of white blood cells (leucopenia). Trimethoprim sulfa commonly comes in 960mg tablets. The dose range for horses is 15-30 mg/kg. Generally, 10 tablets administered orally for a 1000lb horse is effective. This medication is given twice a day (every 12 hours) and is best absorbed if given without food. Trimethoprim sulfa may be prescribed by your veterinarian for simple wounds, such as those on the face or legs. Metronidazole is an antibiotic commonly used for anaerobic (bacteria which can grow in the absence of oxygen) infections. For example, deep puncture wounds, respiratory infections, peritonitis, soft tissue infections, and abscesses are infections that often involve anaerobic bacteria.. It is broken down by the liver and excreted in the urine and in the feces.

Abstract: Trypanosoma and Leishmania parasites are the etiological agents of various threatening Citation: Tassone, G.; Landi, G.; neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), Chagas disease, Linciano, P.; Francesconi, V.; Tonelli, and various types of leishmaniasis. Recently, meaningful progresses in the treatment of HAT, due to M.; Tagliazucchi, L.; Costi, M.P.; Trypanosoma brucei (Tb), have been achieved by the introduction of fexinidazole and the combination Mangani, S.; Pozzi, C. Evidence of therapy eflornithine–nifurtimox. Nevertheless, due to drug resistance issues and the exitance of Pyrimethamine and Cycloguanil animal reservoirs, the development of new NTD treatments is still required.
