Description:
Coli 5000 is a creamy-white powder, freely and completely mixable with water
and therefore suitable for all types of drinking water systems. Colistin is a cyclic
polypeptide antibiotic and has a bactericidal action against selected Gram-negative
bacteria. The first bacterial effect of colistin is a blockade of the cell division of bacteria, followed by a secondary progressive lysis. Susceptible bacteria are Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Haemophilus spp.,
Pasteurella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio spp. and paracolon bacteria (MIC
values < 5 mcg/ml). Some Pseudomonas species may be primary resistant. Colistin
sulphate is hardly absorbed after oral administration (less than 1% of the administered dose) and therefore remains active only in the gastrointestinal tract.
Indications:
Coli 5000 is indicated for treatment of gastrointestinal infections in calves, lambs,
kids and poultry, caused by bacteria susceptible to colistin, particularly Colibacillosis and Salmonellosis.
Contra indications:
Do not administer to animals hypersensitive to polymycins. Do not use for treatment of infections caused by resistant micro-organisms. Do not administer to animal species not listed under the indications, especially with an active rumen and
intestinal microbial flora.
Side effect:
None.
Withdrawal Time:
2 days before slaughtering and 1 day for eggs
Storage:
Keep closed in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight and safe from
children.
