QUESTION

The drug of choice for treating Black Quarter is?

OPTIONS

(A) Tetracycline
(B) Sulphonamides
(C) Latest antibiotics
(D) Penicillin

ANSWER

(D) Penicillin

EXPLANATION

Penicillin is the traditional drug of choice for black quarter because Clostridium chauvoei is highly susceptible to penicillin when treatment is initiated early. Tetracyclines may have activity, but sulfonamides or nonspecific “latest antibiotics” are not the classical first-choice therapy.
