The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of different injection sites, i.e., the neck area and thigh muscle, on the pharmacokinetics of cefquinome in piglets following intramuscular (i.m.) injection. Cross-bred (Landrace × Duroc × Yorkshire) piglets were administered the same dose of cefquinome (2 mg/kg body weight) via intravenous injection and intramuscular injection into the neck area or thigh. The mean maximum concentrations (C(max)) of cefquinome following i.m. injection into neck or thigh area were 4.62 ± 0.31 μg/ml at 0.38 ± 0.14 hr and 4.39 ± 0.53 μg/ml at 0.42 ± 0.13 hr, respectively. The absolute bioavailabilities (F) of cefquinome after i.m. injection into the neck or thigh area were 103.04 ± 13.01 and 97.56 ± 16.14%, respectively (P>0.05). There were no differences noted between the two different injection sites for the pharmacokinetic properties of cefquinome after i.m. injection in piglets. Further studies will be needed to determine the incidence or severity of injection site reactions following repeated administrations of cefquinome into both injection sites.

This study aim to explore the application of microdialysis in pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) integration of cefquinome against in a porcine experimental lung infection model. The model was established via intratracheal inoculation where average bacterial counts (CFU) in the lungs of infected pigs reached 6.57 log CFU/g after 3 h.

As set in the maximum residue limit regulations of the European Commission, this study aimed to obtain the residual parameters in milk with optimized UPLC-MS/MS conditions and to determine the conclusive drug withdrawal period to ensure food safety. In this research, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed to study cefquinome sulfate's residue elimination in milk and to calculate cefquinome's withdrawal period. Twelve healthy cows free of endometritis were selected for the experiment.

This study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of cefquinome in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following intravascular (IV), intraperitoneal (IP), and oral (PO) administrations at 14 ± 1°C. In this study, three hundred and six clinically healthy rainbow trout (110-140 g) were used. The fish received single IV, IP, and PO injections of cefquinome at 10 mg/kg dose.

Introduction: Cefquinome sulfate (CS) is the first fourth-generation antibiotic for animals, which has a wide antibacterial spectrum, strong antibacterial activity and low drug resistance. However, it is accompanied by problems of poor therapeutic efficacy. In this context, the use of nanosuspensions have been found to be an attractive strategy.

The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics in turkeys of cefquinome (CFQ), a broad-spectrum 4th-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, were explored after a single injection of 2 mg/kg body weight by intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) routes. In a crossover design and 3-weeks washout interval, seven turkeys were assigned for this objective. Blood samples were collected prior to and at various time intervals following each administration.
