Abstract

GD Animal Health (AH) monitors antimicrobial susceptibility (AMS) of pathogens from different animal species. Previously, AMS testing was performed by agar diffusion using tablets; in 2012 GD AH switched to broth-microdilution and minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are being determined since. The objective of the present study was to analyse the in vitro AMS of E. coli (ECO) and Salmonella isolates originating from clinical submissions and post-mortem examinations from pigs, between January 2016 and December 2018.
