Abstract
In vitro and in vivo screening methods were established for the discovery of new active substances against Treponema hyodysenteriae. During the screening methods, hygromycin A produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus KA-355 was found to be active against T. hyodysenteriae. Hygromycin A did show high antitreponemal activity in in vitro test using the paper disc method on the agar plate inoculated with T. hyodysenteriae. However, the antibiotic exhibited highly therapeutic effect in CF-1 mice, compare with of lincomycin, tiamulin, lankacidin C or olaquindox drinking water. The effective dose (ED50) of hygromycin A was 1.1 .mu.g/ml.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
