Biochemical Properties and Antimicrobial Drug Susceptibility of Pasteurella haemolytica Isolated from Pneumonic Calves

호흡기질병 감염 송아지에서 분리한 Pasteurella haemolytica의 생화학적 특성 및 약제 감수성

The present study was conducted to investigate biochemical properties and antimicrobial drug susceptibilities of 36 strains of Pasteurella haemolytica(P haemolytica) isolated from pneumonic calves in Kyongbuk province during the period from January 1990 to December 1990. P haemolytica was isolated from 36 of 111(32.4%) pneumonic calves of 1 to 6 months of age. The majority of biochemical and cultural properties of P haemolytica isolated from calves were identical to those of the reference strains employed. All isolated were susceptible to baytril, gentamicin, and kanamycin, some of them were resistant to tetracycline, amikacin, streptomycin, and ampicillin.
