Abstract
The antibiotic susceptibility of thirty-nine strains of Mycoplasma hyo pneumoniae isolated from swine between 1970-1981 and 1989-1990 was inv estigated. From the present results, it is suggested that the suscepti bility to chlortetracycline has been decreasing in Japan. On the other hand, all the strains were sensitive to lincomycin, thiamphenicol and macrolides. Newly developed macrolides such as tilmicosin, acetylisov aleryl-tylosin and mirosamycin had equal or higher activity than gener al macrolides.
