In Vitro Sensitivity of Bovine and Porcine Strains of Pasteurella Multocida to Antibiotics

Summary

An agar diffusion technique was used to study the sensitivity to 16 antibiotics of 50 Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from calves (smooth colonies) and 50 strains isolated from pigs (mucoid colonies). The tetracyclines (Chlortetracycline, Oxytetracycline, and tetracycline) were most effective in vitro. There were no major differences between calf and pig strains in antibiotic sensitivity.

Zusammenfassung

Die Aktivität von 16 Antibiotika gegenüber zwei Sammlungen von je 50 Pasteurella miultocida-Stämmen, die von Kälbern (S-Kolonien) bezw. Schweinen (mukoide Kolonien) isoliert worden waren, wurde mittels einer Agardiffusionstechnik studiert. Die Tetracycline (Chlortetracyclin, Oxytetracyclin, Tetracyclin) und Chloramphenicol erwiesen sich in vitro gegen diese Bakterienart als am wirksamsten. In der Empfindlichkeit für die untersuchten Antibiotika Messen sich zwischen den beiden Gruppen von Stammen keine grösseren Abweichungen nachweisen.

Sammanfattning

Aktiviteten av 16 antibiotika mot två kollektiv om var der a 50 Pasteurella multocida stammar, som isolerats från respektive kalv (S-kolonier) och svin (mukoida kolonier) har studerats medelst en agardiffusionsteknik. Tetriacyklinerna (klortetracyklin, oxitetracyklin, tetracyklin) och kloramfenikol visade sig vara mest effektiva in vitro mot denna bakterieart. Inga större avvikelser melian de båda kollektivems känslighet for de testade antibiotika har framkommit.
