Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Elke Plessers"
- Elke Plessers' research primarily focuses on the efficacy and immune-modulating effects of the macrolide antibiotic gamithromycin and its potential applications in treating various animal infections, particularly in poultry and calves.
- Recent findings demonstrate that gamithromycin shows significant clinical effectiveness against Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale in turkeys and exhibits immunomodulatory properties that can attenuate inflammation and acute-phase responses in calves and pigs.
- Plessers has also developed advanced analytical methods, such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, for quantifying gamithromycin in biological samples to better understand its pharmacokinetics and therapeutic potential in veterinary medicine.
