A fluoroquinolone antibiotic, similar to ciprofloxacin, useful against a wide spectrum of aerobic bacteria, but particularly gram-negative bacteria and mycoplasma. Marketed for veterinary use only as Baytril.
Enrofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic sold by the Bayer Corporation under the trade name Baytril. Enrofloxacin is currently FDA-approved for treatment of individual pets and domestic animals in the United States. In September of 2005, the FDA withdrew approval of Baytril for use in water to treat flocks of poultry, as this practice was noted to promote the evolution of fluoroquinolone-resistant strains of the bacterium Campylobacter, a human pathogen.[1] Fluoroquinolones such as ciprofloxacin are widely used in the treatment of human disease.
