Kitasamycin was developed by Japanese Kitasa Institute in 1960. The antibiotic was produced by Streptomycin kitasatoensis with the active compound of 16 carbon macrolide. The antibiotic has other names such as Selectomycin, leucomycin, ayermicina, sineptin. This antibiotic was approved by Ministry of Agriculture in 2001 as the growth promoter additive in poultry and swine to control and prevent digestive and respiratory diseases. Pharmacology Characteristic: Belonging to the macrolide antibiotic, its antibacterial activity is similar to tylosin, erythromycin, spiramycin and oleandomycin. The mode of action is to inhibit the protein synthesis process. Its inhibition spectrum includes Mycoplasmas, Gram-positive bacteria, some Gram-negative bacteria, Leptospira, Rickettsia. It also inhibits most bacteria resistant to penicillin, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, erythromycin and chloramphenicol bacteria strains. It is a safe and high efficacy growth-promoting additive for swine and poultry.
