Abstract
Sea turtles face various threats to survival, primarily due to human activities, such as bycatch, vessel strikes, pollution, and climate change. Many of these activities can lead to illness or injuries, increasing the risk of infection. Treating infections appropriately and effectively requires knowledge of antimicrobial properties and their ability to eradicate microbes without harm to the sea turtle. Robust pharmacokinetic studies, therefore, are important for appropriate dosing. Herein, we review the studies detailing the pharmacokinetic properties of antimicrobials in sea turtles conducted to date.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics (JVPT) is an international journal devoted to the publication of scientific papers in the basic and clinical aspects of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology, whether the study is in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo or in silico. The Journal is a forum for recent scientific information and developments in the discipline of veterinary pharmacology, including toxicology and therapeutics. Studies that are entirely in vitro will not be considered within the scope of JVPT unless the study has direct relevance to the use of the drug (including toxicants and feed additives) in veterinary species, or that it can be clearly demonstrated that a similar outcome would be expected in vivo. These studies should consider approved or widely used veterinary drugs and/or drugs with broad applicability to veterinary species.
