Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride

Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of oxytetracycline, a tetracycline derivative produced by Streptomyces rimosus exhibiting antimicrobial activity. Oxytetracycline hydrochloride interferes with binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby preventing peptide elongation and inhibiting protein synthesis.Its efficacy against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as atypical pathogens like Chlamydia and Rickettsia, has made it invaluable for treating systemic and local infections in livestock, poultry, and companion animals.
