It is commonly abbreviated as etbr, which is also an abbreviation for bromoethane. To avoid confusion, others have used the abbreviation ethbr. When exposed to ultraviolet light, it will fluoresce with an orange colour, intensifying almost 20-fold after binding to dna. Under the name homidium, it has been commonly used since the 1950s in veterinary medicine to treat trypanosomiasis in cattle, a disease caused by trypanosomes.the high incidence of antimicrobial resistance makes this treatment impractical in some areas, where the related isometamidium chloride is used instead. Ethidium bromide may be a mutagen, although this depends on the organism exposed and the circumstances of exposure.
