title: Antibacterial drug therapy. Focus on new drugs.
abstract: This article will focus on the drugs for which there has been a recent or renewed interest in veterinary medicine. Some of these are new drugs that were recently introduced. Others discussed may be human-label drugs for which there has been recent interest in veterinary medicine because of the need for a more active drug or convenient regimen. For drugs such as the aminoglycosides included here, recent information has provided us with updated dosage guidelines.
