Abstract
Antimicrobial products are approved for the control of liver abscesses with varying amounts of data. When compared to negative controls, tylosin has the most data to support a reduction in total (risk ratio 0.34) and severe A+ (risk ratio 0.31) liver abscesses. Due to the reduction in the use of antimicrobials, vaccination to control liver abscess prevalence is intriguing. However, available vaccines do not appear to be effective in controlling the prevalence of liver abscesses, especially when the disease prevalence is high.
