Nationwide analysis of antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from diseased swine over 29 years in Japan.

ABSTRACT: Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains are important causes of several swine diseases that result in significant economic losses worldwide. In Japan, the use of antimicrobials in swine is much higher than that in other farm animals every year. Antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic E. coli strains also heavily impacts the swine industry due to the limited treatment options and an increase in the potential risk of the One Health crisis. In 2016, we investigated 684 Japanese isolates of swine pathogenic E. coli belonging to four major serogroups and reported the emergence and increase in the highly multidrug-resistant serogroups O116 and OSB9 and the appearance of colistin-resistant strains. In the present study, by expanding our previous analysis, we determined the serotyp
