Serotyping and antimicrobial resistance of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolates from fattening pigs in Poland from 2019 to 2024.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a prevalent respiratory pathogen causing substantial economic losses in swine production worldwide. The bacterium's ability to rapidly develop antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant challenge to effective treatment and control. In Poland, limited data on A. pleuropneumoniae serotype distribution and AMR patterns hinder evidence-based treatment strategies. This study examined the serotype diversity and AMR patterns of A. pleuropneumoniae isolates from porcine pleuropneumonia outbreaks in northeastern Poland between 2019 and 2024, providing crucial information for regional veterinary practices and antimicrobial stewardship efforts.

Results

Analysis of 119 isolates from 67 farms demonstrated the predominance of serotype
