Abstract
Minimum inhibitory concentrations for 35 antimicrobial agents against 100 Fusobacterium necrophorum isolates from hepatic abscesses in sheep and cattle were determined. Twelve of the thirteen beta-lactam antibi otics tested inhibited growth of 100% of strains tested. Of the remain ing antimicrobial agents, extensive susceptibility was found for: spir amycin, josamycin, lincomycin, tylosin, oxytetracycline, chlortetracyc line, rufloxacin, metronidazole, co-trimoxazole, sulfadimethoxine, vir giniamycin and fosfomycin.
