Essential insights

• Inhibition of Protein Synthesis: Tylosin binds to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis and preventing bacterial growth and replication.
  
• Bacteriostatic Effect: By halting protein synthesis, tylosin prevents the growth of susceptible bacteria, allowing the host's immune system to eliminate the infection.
  
• Spectrum: Tylosin is effective against Gram-positive bacteria, some Gram-negative organisms, and mycoplasma, a common cause of respiratory issues in animals.
