Antibiotic sensitivity of Haemophilus parasuis plus Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and other respiratory pathogens

چکیده
Antimicrobial resistance in porcine respiratory pathogens has been shown to exist inmany countries. However little is known about the variability in antimicrobial resistancewithin a population of one bacterial respiratory pathogen on a pig farm. This studyexamined the antimicrobial sensitivity of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae using multipleisolates within a pig and across the pigs at three different sampling times. Threeantimicrobial agents examined were tilmicosin, tetracycline and amoxicillin. A total of367 isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae were tested. The isolates were identified,serotyped and a subsample genotyped. All isolates were tested for their antimicrobialsensitivity. All isolates were identified as A. pleuropneumoniae serovar 1 with the samegenetic profile. The three batches were found to consist of a mix of resistant andsusceptible isolates against tilmicosin and there was a shift from the susceptible wildtype towards a resistant type observed that was statistically significant in the secondsampling for tilmicosin and amoxicillin. There was considerable variance in the secondsampling period and the zone diameter across the isolates towards the threeantimicrobials varied considerably. The results support the hypothesis that onepopulation of a porcine respiratory pathogen can consist of both susceptible and resistanttypes, with the prevalence of resistant types varying across time.

Detection of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in oral-fluid samples obtained from experimentally infected pigs
The use of cotton ropes has been recently proposed to collect oral fluids from pigs as a method to detect and monitor viral infections in swine populations. However, its use for detection and monitoring of swine bacterial pathogens by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has not been assessed. In this study, oral-fluid testing for diagnosis of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was evaluated over time,...

متن کاملNew plasmid tools for genetic analysis of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and other pasteurellaceae.
We have generated a set of plasmids, based on the mobilizable shuttle vector pMIDG100, which can be used as tools for genetic manipulation of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and other members of the Pasteurellaceae. A tandem reporter plasmid, pMC-Tandem, carrying promoterless xylE and gfpmut3 genes downstream of a multiple-cloning site (MCS), can be used for identification of transcriptional re...
