- Tylosin has a bacteriostatic effect on susceptible organisms, caused by inhibition of protein synthesis through binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome.
- Indicated for the treatment of Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD) caused by Mycoplasma infections, and for the treatment of infectious (respiratory) diseases due to erythromycin-sensitive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (e.g. Infectious arthritis), Haemophilus paragallinarum (e.g. Infectious coryza) and Pasteurella multocida (e.g. Pasteurellosis: pneumonia) in poultry.
