Description
A macrolide antibiotic called tylosin is used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in many different kinds of animals. It is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive organisms.
However, antibiotic residues in milk that are beyond the tolerance level impede the production of dairy products and could be harmful to consumers' health.
A quick test called TyloSensor can quickly determine whether milk samples have been tylosin-contaminated.
