title: Antimicrobial therapy of adult horses with emergency conditions.
abstract: In emergency conditions, antimicrobial treatment is subordinate to truly life-supporting measures. Antimicrobial treatment should be formulated rationally for each patient and should not simply be a matter of following a recipe. This article presents principles for guiding rational therapeutic decision-making and examples of conditions in which those principles can be applied.
