The poor immune response of the antibiotic-treated group could be attributed to the immunosuppressive effect of apramycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Correlation between apramycin and gentamicin use in pigs and an increase reservoir of gentamicin-resistant Escherichia coli.

Most of the isolates were highly susceptible to polymyxin B (91.25%), apramycin (88.25%), aztreonam (86.25%).

Resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline alone was commonly observed, whereas resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, kanamycin, gentamicin, apramycin, chloramphenicol, and nitrofurantoin was constantly associated with multidrug-resistant phenotypes.

The analytical standards used for the tetracyclines (chlortetracycline, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, and tetracycline) and aminoglycosides (amikacin, apramycin, dihydrostreptomycin, gentamicin, hygromycin, kanamycin, neomycin, spectinomycin, streptomycin, and tobramycin) families were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co.

A 4-wk experiment was conducted with a total of 48 newly weaned piglets (crossbred ((Landrace x Yorkshire)x Duroc), mean body weight 8 kg, 28 d of age) in order to evaluate the effects of the resveratrol and an essential oil blend as alternatives to antimicrobial feed additives such as apramycin. The piglets were allotted to one of the four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design based on their initial body weight.

The relationship between use of apramycin in the poultry industry and the detection of gentamicin resistant E.

Sensititer (TREK Diagnostic Systems, LTD, West Sussex, England), a commercially prepared dehydrated panel, was used for the following antimicrobial agents: amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ampicillin, apramycin, ceftiofur, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, colistin, florphenicol, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, neomycin, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and trimethoprim.

Kinetic disposition, systemic bioavailability and tissue distribution of apramycin in broiler chickens.

Antimicrobial susceptibilities were assessed for amikacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin, apramycin, cefoxitin, ceftiofur, ceftriaxone, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, imipenem, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.

Apramycin, an aminoglycoside is important in animal husbandry around the world and is used by the Poultry Industry Association of New Zealand (PIANZ) members, who collectively account for 99% of New Zealand's broiler chicken production.
