Antimicrobial susceptibility among respiratory tract pathogens isolated from cattle and pigs

The aim of this study was to survey the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria causing cattle and pig respiratory infections in 10 European countries. Non-replicate nasopharyngeal/nasal or lung swabs were collected from animals with acute respiratory signs during 2015-2016. Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia haemolytica, Histophilus somni from cattle (n=281), and P. multocida, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Glaesserella parasuis, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Streptococcus suis from pigs (n=593) were isolated. MICs were assessed following CLSI standards and interpreted using veterinary breakpoints where available. H. somni isolates were fully antibiotic susceptible. Bovine P.multocida and M.haemolytica were susceptible to all antibiotics, except tetracycline (11.6-17.6% resistance). Low macrolide and spectinomycin ...
