Therapy of bovine bacterial pneumonia.
Practical strategies for developing rational therapeutic regimens based on in vitro sensitivity and pharmacokinetic disposition are presented. Special attention is given to Pasteurella haemolytica, which is regarded as the most frequent cause of bovine bacterial pneumonia. Bacterial-dependent and host-dependent causes of therapeutic failure and potentially valuable novel therapies and drug combinations are considered.
