Description
Fosmit is a broad spectrum antibiotic containing Fosfomycin and tylosin.
Fosfomycin is a natural, low toxicity, bactericidal broad-spectrum antibiotic which acts on proliferating bacteria by inhibiting cell wall and early murein/peptidoglycan synthesis. Bactericidal effect is evident against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria such as: Salmonella spp., E.coli, Pasteurella spp., Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Haemophilus spp., Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. It manifest a moderate activity against Listeria spp., Leptospira spp., Clostridium spp. and Vibrio spp.
Tylosin is a macrolide antibiotic with bacteriostatic action, by interfering with protein synthesis and inhibiting the transpeptidation and translocation process in bacteria cell. Tylosin is active against more aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive bacteria, atypical mycobacteria (Mycobacterium spp., Mycoplasma spp., Chlamydia spp. and Ricketsia spp) and acts also against some strains of gram-negative bacteria such as Pasteurella spp.,Haemophilus spp. and Neisseria spp.
Fructose 1.6-diphosphate is a fructose sugar very common in cells as a result of conversion of the main glucose and fructose acquired. The combination of Fosfomycin and Tylosin acts synergistically thus makes FOSMIT® PLUS the most ideal remedy for the treatment of a wide range of diseases affecting poultry and swine.
