Bambermycin is a performance-enhancing antibiotic intended and available solely for use in animal nutrition. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial wall . Bambermycin is predominantly effective against Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. [ 4 ]
Antibiotics that contain beta-lactamase inhibitors (i.e., oral Augmentin or parenteral Unasyn) cover C. canimorsus, as well as other organisms common in bites. [citation needed] Penicillin G is the drug of choice, although some isolates have been found to show resistance. [4]
Bacteria from this family cause zoonotic infections in humans. These infections manifest themselves as skin or soft tissue infections after an animal bite. This species is found in chickens. [2] Infected chicken may exhibit sinusitis, nasal discharge, drop in egg production, and low mortality. [3]
Genes for antibiotic resistance have gradually spread among other pathogenic bacterial species by horizontal gene transfer. [10] Susceptibility to various beta-lactam antibiotics has been described as variable depending on the strain of Capnocytophaga. [11] This resistance is often linked to the production of beta- lactamases.
Antibiotics to prevent infection are recommended for dog and cat bites of the hand, [10] and human bites if they are more than superficial. [11] They are also recommended in those who have poor immune function. [8] Evidence for antibiotics to prevent infection in bites in other areas is not clear. [12]
Pasteurella canis is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus of the family Pasteurellaceae. [1] Bacteria from this family cause zoonotic infections in humans, which manifest themselves as skin or soft-tissue infections after an animal bite.

It is a combination consisting of amoxicillin, a β-lactam antibiotic, and potassium clavulanate, a β-lactamase inhibitor. [5] It is specifically used for otitis media, streptococcal pharyngitis, pneumonia, cellulitis, urinary tract infections, and animal bites. [5] It is taken by mouth or by injection into a vein. [2]
