R. Stehmann et al., AIRBORNE BORDETELLA-BRONCHISEPTICA ISOLATES IN PIGSTIES - RESISTANCE TO CHEMOTHERAPEUTICS, Monatshefte fur Veterinarmedizin, 48(3), 1993, pp. 137-141
Follow-up investigations were conducted to test 184 airborne Bordetell
a bronchiseptica strains in farrowing houses and 563 strains in weaner
houses for their responsiveness to 14 chemotherapeutics. Response of
all strains tested was quite uniform to the substances involved. High
sensitivity was recordable to neomycin, mebacid, trimethoprim-sulphame
razine, chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, colistin, gentamycin and nal
idixid acid. The strains proved to be resistant to penicillin, strepto
mycin, oxacillin and lincomycin. Differentiated responses of the B. br
onchiseptica strains tested were established with regard to ampicillin
and nitrofurantoin. The point is made that analysis of B. bronchisept
ica flora in their air in livestock accomodation might be helpful in o
btaining information on current resistance to chemotherapeutics in a g
iven herd of farm animals.
