On this Monday morning, we would like to share with you this article published in Research in Veterinary Science by PhD-candidate Shivdeep Hayer advised by Dr. Julio Alvarez. The peer-reviewed publication is a summary of antimicrobial resistances (AMR) in swine respiratory isolates between 2006 and 2016.
Highlights
- AMR data for bacterial swine pathogens associated with Swine Respiratory Disease Complex are lacking
- AMR data on swine bacterial pathogens collected over 11 years in the U.S.A was analyzed for changes in AMR prevalence
- AMR in S. suis and P. multocida isolates mostly remained low
- There were statistically significant changes in AMR in A. suis and H. parasuis
- Use of surrogate breakpoints can lead to different AMR estimates for certain bacteria
