Cefalonium
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Cefalonium is a first-generation cephalosporin bactericidal antimicrobial agent. Cefalonium can be used in studies related to bovine mastitis, Staphylococcus aureus-induced mastitis and intramammary infections.

Biological Activity
Cefalonium (0.031-32 µg/mL; 20 h) inhibits Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bovine mastitis with a mode MIC of 0.125 µg/mL and an epidemiological cut-off value of ≤ 0.5 µg/mL[1].
Cefalonium (10 µg per disk, 30 µg per disk; 18 h) produces zone diameters that correlate significantly with cefalonium MIC50s for Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bovine mastitis, with epidemiological cut-off values of ≥ 22 mm and ≥ 29 mm, respectively[1].
Cefalonium (16-20 h) potently inhibits the bovine mastitis isolate S. aureus Newbould 305 in vitro with an MIC of 0.06 μg/mL, and shows consistent activity against 330 global bovine mastitis S. aureus strains with an MIC50 of 0.08 μg/mL[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Cefalonium (single intramammary syringe dose; intramammary infusion; single dose; at drying off) alone results in a 7.3% incidence of new intramammary infections at calving across all dry period lengths, with efficacy declining to an 11.4% new infection rate at calving for cows with dry periods of 10 weeks or longer; the total incidence of mammary gland inflammation in the first 100 days of lactation is not significantly different from the comparison group[3].

Animal Model:CD-1 (female, 12-14 days post-offspring birth, ~50 g, lactating, mastitis model induced by intramammary injection of Staphylococcus aureus Newbould 305)[2]
-
Dosage:200 μg/gland; 400 μg/gland; 800 μg/gland
-
Administration:i.mam.; single dose
-
Result:Reduced mean bacterial load to 3.09 log10 CFU/g gland and resulted in 0% of glands cleared at 200 μg/gland.
Reduced mean bacterial load to 3.01 log10 CFU/g gland and resulted in 75% of glands cleared at 400 μg/gland; in a confirmatory study, reduced mean bacterial load to 1.70 log10 CFU/g gland and resulted in 100% of glands cleared at 400 μg/gland.
Reduced mean bacterial load to 3.00 log10 CFU/g gland and resulted in 100% of glands cleared at 800 μg/gland.
Achieved an ED2log10 of 27 μg/gland, ED4log10 of 105 μg/gland, PD50 of 362 μg/gland, and PD100 of 800 μg/gland.

Animal Model:Dairy cows (Institute for Animal Health research herd, managed on commercial lines; dried off abruptly at end of lactation, under natural exposure to intramammary infection pathogens)[3]
-
Dosage:single intramammary syringe dose
-
Administration:intramammary infusion; single dose; at drying off
-
Result:Resulted in a 7.3% incidence of new intramammary infections at calving across all dry period lengths.
Resulted in a 6% incidence of new intramammary infections at calving for cows with a dry period of <10 weeks.
Resulted in an 11.4% incidence of new intramammary infections at calving for cows with a dry period of ≥10 weeks.
Was associated with 15 total cases of mammary gland inflammation in the first 100 days of lactation for quarters infected at calving.
Resulted in 36 total cases of mammary gland inflammation in the first 100 days of lactation, with no significant difference compared to the comparison group.
