Specifications
Target Information
Pirlimycin is an antibiotic belonging to the lincosamide class, specifically developed for veterinary use. It is primarily used to treat mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, in dairy cattle. The use of pirlimycin is of significant food safety concern because its residues can be found in milk if the milk from treated cows is not withheld for the appropriate period. Consuming milk with pirlimycin residues can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which is a major public health issue.
