Comment: Tulathromycin is a macrolide (triamilide subclass) antibacterial that was developed for use in veterinary medicine [3]. It consists of an equilibrated mixture of a 15-membered and a 13-membered ring component in a 9:1 ratio [2]. We show the structure for tulathromycin A, the 15-membered isomer.
