Composition :
Each 1 gm contains:
Oxytetracycline HCl 757 mg equivalent to Oxytetracycline 701.44 mg
Properties:
Oxytetracycline act as bacteriostatic antibiotics and inhibit protein synthesis by reversibly binding to 30S ribosomal subunits of susceptible organisms, thereby preventing binding to those ribosomes of aminoacyl transfer-RNA. Oxytetracycline also are believed to reversibly bind to 50S ribosomes and additionally alter cytoplasmic membrane permeability in susceptible organisms. In high concentrations, Oxytetracycline can also inhibit protein synthesis by mammalian cells.
Oxytetracycline have activity against most Mycoplasma, Spirochetes (including the Lyme disease organism), Chlamydia, and Rickettsia. Against gram positive bacteria, Oxytetracycline have activity against some strains of staphylococcus and streptococci, but resistance of these organisms is increasing. Gram positive bacteria that are usually covered by Oxytetracycline, include Actinomyces sp., Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium perfringens and tetani, Listeria monocytogenes, and Nocardia. Among gram negative bacteria that Oxytetracycline usually have in vitro and in vivo activity against include Bordetella sp., Brucella, Bartonella, Haemophilus sp., Pasturella multocida, Shigella, and Yersinia pestis. Many or most strains of E. coli, Klebsiella, Bacteroides, Enterobacter, Proteus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are resistant to the Oxytetracycline. While most strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa show in vitro resistance to Oxytetracycline, those compounds attaining high urine levels have been associated with clinical cures in dogs with UTI secondary to this organism. Oxytetracycline share nearly identical spectrums of activity and patterns of crossresistance and a tetracycline susceptibility disk is usually used for in vitro testing for oxytetracycline susceptibility.
