About this document
Novobiocin: Veterinary Uses and Effects by Valéria Oliveira is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Novobiocin is an antibiotic used in veterinary medicine for treating bovine mastitis and is effective against gram-positive bacteria. It is primarily bacteriostatic, with pharmacokinetics showing rapid absorption and metabolism in animals, mainly excreted through feces. While novobiocin has shown potential genotoxic effects in vitro, it is not considered carcinogenic in rats, and a toxicological acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0.020 mg/kg bw has been established.
