Abstract:
Minimum inhibition concentrations (MICs) were determined for ampicillin, ceftiofur, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, enrofloxacin, gentamicin, lincomycin, lincospectin (lincomycin/spectinomycin), neomycin, premafloxacin, spectinomycin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, and tetracycline against a total of 180 isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella choleraesuis (60 each) clinically isolated from pigs on farms in Taiwan from 1994 to 1996. No more than 3 isolates per farm were used. Ceftiofur had the highest activity in vitro against isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae, E. coli, and S. choleraesuis, with MIC 90 values of 0.03, 2, and 1 μg/ml, respectively. Premafloxacin was highly active against isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae, E. coli, and S. choleraesuis, with MIC 90 values of 2, 8, and 0.5 μg/ml, respectively, which were lower than those with enrofloxacin (MIC 90 8, 32, and 2 μg/ml, respectively). Neomycin was moderately active against A. pleuropneumoniae and E. coli, with MIC 90 values of 8 and 64 μg/ml, respectively, but was inactive with S. choleraesuis. Gentamicin showed high activity against A. pleuropneumoniae (MIC 90 of 2 μg/ml) but was only moderately active with E. coli and S. choleraesuis (MIC 90 of 64 and 32 μg/ml). Cephalothin was highly active against isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae (MIC 90 of 1 μg/ml) but was inactive with E. coli (MIC 90 of 128 μg/ml). Lincomycin had moderate activity (MIC 90 of 32 μg/ml) against A. pleuropneumoniae. Chloramphenicol, lincomycin, and tetracycline were inactive with E. coli and S. choleraesuis (MIC 90 〉 128 μg/ml). In conclusion, ceftiofur and premafloxacin were highly active against isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae, E. coli, and S. choleraesuis; enrofloxacin and gentamicin were highly to moderately active; cephalothin was highly active against A. pleuropneumoniae and moderately active against S. cholearesuis; chloramphenicol, lincomycin, and tetracycline were active only with A. pleuropneumoniae; neomycin was moderately active against A. pleuropneumoniae and E. coli. The other antimicrobials tested were inactive.
