AMIGLYDE-V is indicated for the treatment of uterine infections (endometritis, metritis and pyometra) in mares, when caused by
susceptible organisms including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp and Klebsiella sp. The use of AMIGLYDE-V in eliminating infection
caused by the above organisms has been shown clinically to improve fertility in infected mares.While nearly all strains of
Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp and Klebsiella sp, including those that are resistant to gentamicin, kanamycin or other
aminoglycosides, are susceptible to amikacin at levels achieved following treatment, it is recommended that the invading organism
be cultured and its susceptibility demonstrated as a guide to therapy. Amikacin susceptibility discs, 30 mcg, should be used for
determining in vitro susceptibility.
