DESCRIPTION<\/b><\/p>\n
Procaine penicillin G is a small-spectrum penicillin with bactericidal action<\/p>\n
against mainly Gram-positive bacteria (like Streptococci, Staphylococci,<\/p>\n
some Corynebacteria spp., Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Clostridia spp.,<\/p>\n
Bacillus anthracis) and Gram-negative cocci, Leptospira canicola,<\/p>\n
Campylobacter foetus and Actinomyces bovis.<\/p>\n
Dihydrostreptomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has bactericidal activity against mainly Gram-negative bacteria, like<\/p>\n
E. coli, Proteus vulgaris, Brucella spp., Salmonella spp., Shighella spp., Klebsiella spp., Pasteurella spp. and some<\/p>\n
Mycoplasmas. The combination acts additive and in some cases synergistic.<\/p>\n
