Abstract
The in vitro, susceptibilities of 76 isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneum oniae collected from pigs with pleuropneumonia were tested with 12 commonly used antimicrobial drugs by an agar dilution minimal inhibitory concentrat ion procedure according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Stand ards (NCCLS) guidelines. Field isolates had low MICs for ceftiofur, danoflo xacin and penicillin. No correlation of antimicrobial resistance was relate d to serotype.
