In many instances M. gallisepticum infection in poultry is aggravated by respiratory colibacillosis and the complex is designated "Chronic Respiratory Disease" ("CRD").

Baytril® is efficacious against both mycoplasma and E. coli infections. In addition to field experience lasting many past years, a controlled clinical study (study outline) gives convincing evidence that a drinking water medication with Baytril 10% oral solution, either continuous or pulse dosed, cures chickens suffering from "CRD" very well (incidence of morbidity, incidence of lesions, clinical efficacy index).
