A microbiological study of 25 cases of ovine footrot was performed. Cultures belonging to @entity28746 were isolated in 48% of the sampled animals. The sensitivity of the 99 strict anaerobic bacterial isolates to 5 antibiotics ( @entity3397 , @entity115 , @entity7912 , @entity2929 and @entity5385 ) was studied. The percentage of resistant cultures was in all cases higher than 30%. The efficacy of @entity2929 and @entity5385 in the treatment of ovine footrot was studied. To conduct this test, an intramuscular injection was applied, of one antimicrobial or the other, at the beginning of the treatment. The tolerance of animals to the antimicrobials, the success rate of treatment and the severity of @entity1273 were evaluated. The percentage of animals cured within 15 days was around 75%. In contrast, only 44% improvement was achieved in the @entity1273 . No differences were found between the two antimicrobials in the above indices.

Comparison of XXXX and @entity5385 for the treatment of ovine footrot.
