SUMMARY The in vitro bacteriostatic level of tylosin tartrate against M. mycoides was found to be 0.07 μg/ml In experiments in cattle, infected 10 days earlier by subcutaneous inoculation, the infection was controlled by seven 12‐hourly intramuscular injections at a dose rate of 7.5 or 15 mg/kg body‐weight. M. mycoides was not eliminated from the residual lesions even at the higher rate.
