Abstract

Ceftiofur is an extended spectrum cephalosporin antimicrobial agent that was developed solely for veterinary therapeutic use, and was first approved for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in 1988 by the FDA-CVM. In 1997 Pharmacia Animal Health (PAH) initiated a target pathogen susceptibility monitoring program, and continues to monitor the in vitro activity of ceftiofur as well as other antimicrobials used in the treatment of BRD. This paper discusses the results of monitoring the sensitivity of BRD isolates to ceftiofur over the last four years.
