Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the infectious arthritis on pigs slaughter in eastern Kangweon. During the period of between Feb. and Nov. 1992, 459 pigs were sampled at six abattoirs. Bacterial isolation and identification were perfomed from the arthritic lesions. In addition, drug susceptibility for the major isolated microoganisms were examined. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. From arthritic lesions bacteria were most frequently isolated, isolation rate being 21.1%. 2. The bacteria isolated from arthritic lesion, Staphylococcus spp. (33.9%), Coli form(39.3%) were most frequently isolated, while the genera of Mycoplasma were detected less frequently. 3. Antimicrobial drug susceptibility of the major organisms showed that all the isolated bacteria were susceptible to SXT(91.0%), cephalothin(82.5%), but resisted to penicillin and streptomycin.
