Comparison of antimicrobial susceptibility of Glaesserella parasuis from different pig production systems in Taiwan between 2015 and 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glässer's disease, caused by Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis), is a widespread bacterial infection in swine that leads to significant economic losses. G. parasuis, a member of the normal microbiota within the Pasteurellaceae family, exhibits horizontal resistance gene exchange and intracellular invasion capabilities, increasing the risk of developing resistant isolates. Accurate antimicrobial therapy is essential for controlling Glässer's disease. The production systems for exotic crossbred pigs and Taiwan black pigs differ considerably. To inform Glässer disease control and monitor antimicrobial resistance, we assessed the antimicrobial susceptibilities of G. parasuis isolates, analyzed them using normalized resistance interpretation (NRI), and compared findings betw
