Bovine mastitis has had a great impact on the economic losses of the dairy industry. Nowadays, environmental pathogens cause the main types of bovine mastitis, especially the streptococci. The aim of the study was to identify the major Streptococcus species causing bovine mastitis in Taiwan as well as to reveal their antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. By colony morphology identifying, Gram staining, and subculturing on Edwards agar, the preliminary identified streptococci were subjected to biochemical identification, latex agglutination tests and dick diffusion tests for susceptibility tests of 16 antimicrobial agents. Among a total of 157 strains, Streptococcus uberis was the most dominant …

The study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of L. intracellularis field isolates from Korean pig farms. The novel four field isolates successfully obtained from clinical cases were prepared in IEC-18 cells to conduct the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) by determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC)s; either intracellular (InMIC) or extracellular MICs (ExMIC). The final MICs were assessed by counting the number of heavily infected cells (HICs;> 30 bacteria per cell) using an immunoperoxidase monolayer assay. Enrofloxacin (0.125 to 0.25 μg/mL: InMIC and 2 to 16 μg/mL; ExMIC) presented the most notable antimicrobial susceptibility, and marbofloxacin (0.25 to …
