The Tetracyclines are a group of closely related bacteriostatic antibiotics with similar antibacterial spectra. Tetracyclines are used extensively in veterinary medicine and their use in food producing animals could result in potentially harmful concentrations in tissue, organs and milk. Oxytetracycline is one of the most commonly used antibiotic used in fish farms.
Randox Food Diagnostics have developed the Oxytetracycline SENSITIVE ELISA to detect sensitive traces of Oxytetracyclines in tissue. Applicable sample types include shrimp and fish.
