TC (Tetracyclines)
Rapid CDIATM TC kits are intended for qualitative detection of tetracyclines in food.
Tetracyclines (TCs), including tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC), are broad-spectrum antibiotics widely used in modern animal husbandry for both of prevention and treatment of diseases and as growth promotion. However, the abundant and improper use of TCs may result in the presence of their residues in edible animal tissues, which can be toxic and dangerous for human health and potentially cause allergic reactions. Moreover, the long-term presence of TC residues may generate the evolution of microorganisms provoking resistance to antibiotics.
