| Abstract: | Chlamysiosis is a disease of many animals by a member of the genus Chlamydia. Tetracycline and erythromycin are recommended for effective treatment of chlamydiosis. Since hypersensitivities for a given drug may exist, and also because bacteria are known to develop resistance to some drugs, alternative antibiotic treatment should be available. In this research, three drugs, Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, and Cephaloridine, were tested for effectiveness against C. psittaci organisms. Each was found to have a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) greater than 100 micrograms/mI and are therefore not recommended as therapeutic agents for chlamydiosis. |
