Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of Mycoplasma hyosynoviae strains isolated from five European countries between 2018 and 2023.

ABSTRACT: Mycoplasma (M.) hyosynoviae is a facultative pathogen, causing arthritis in finisher pigs world-wide. In the absence of a commercial vaccine improvement of housing conditions and antibiotic therapy are the only options to alleviate the clinical signs. This study aimed to determine antibiotic susceptibility profiles of 106 M. hyosynoviae isolates against ten antibiotics licensed for veterinary use in cases of arthritis. The isolates were collected between 2018 and 2023 from five European countries: Austria (n = 20), Belgium (n = 20), Germany (n = 25), Hungary (n = 21) and Italy (n = 20). The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined by broth micro-dilution assay. The tested isolates were highly susceptible to tiamulin (MIC₉₀ ≤ 0.039 µg/ml), tylvalosin (MIC₉₀
