[The efficacy of pleuromutilins on Aegyptianella pullorum infections in chickens (author's transl)].

Pleuromutilins have an aegyptianellicidal efficacy. A significant chemotherapeutic influence on the course of the infection in chickens could only be achieved after repeated oral and intramuscular applications of at least 150 mg and 75 mg/kg body weight respectively. However, even at these concentrations the infections were not cleared.
