TYLOSULF | TYLOSIN | SULPHADIMIDINE

DESCRIPTION:

Tylosulf is a combination of both Tylosin and Sulphadimidine which both have bacteriostatic activity against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.

Tylosin has a wide spectrum of activity against gram-positive bacteria like Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus, and Mycoplasma. It however has a much narrower activity against gram-negative bacteria. Sulphadimidine has bacteriostatic activity based on competitive inhibition of the conversion of p-amino benzoic acid to the enzyme dihydrofolic acid.
