    • Bacterial Resistance

    Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in veterinary medicine. Federation of Veterinarians in Europe Position Paper: Antibiotic Resistance & Prudent Use of Antibiotics in Veterinary Medicine[http://www.fve.org/papers/pdf/vetmed/position_papers/antibioen.pdf] Clavulanic acid inactivates beta-lactamases which are a common resistance strategy in gram positive bacteria. Synulox is reported to be effective against clinical Klebsiella infections, but is not efficacious against Pseudomonas infections.
