The genus Proteus has been rarely isolated from cultured fish. In this study, we reported Proteus vulgaris isolated from fish skin lesion of Black-spotted porcupine fish (Diodon hystrix). Identification of f vulgaris was performed by general biological test, including API 20E and API ZYM. The sensitivity of isolated strains to different groups of antibiotics was evaluated using the disc diffusion method. It showed that the isolate is sensitive to ciprofloxacin $(5{\mu}g)$, norfloxacin $(10{\mu}g)$, enrofloxacin $(5{\mu}g)$, cefotaxime $(30{\mu}g)$.

Salmonella Typhimurium is a virulent pathogen for human and animal. We studied serotypes, biochemical characteristics, and antimicrobial resistance of S. Typhimurium isolated from diseased pigs in Gyeongbuk province over 1998 to 2008. One hundred sixteen isolates were identified as S. Typhimurium by biochemical characteristics and serotypes from 90 farms. The biochemical characteristics of S. Typhimurium isolates was production of $H_2S$, indole-negative, fermentation of mannitol, dulcitol, sorbitol, inositol, rhamnose, and maltose, and ornithine decarboxylase. At antimicrobial susceptibility test, the majority of isolates were highly susceptible to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, while were highly resistant streptomycin, cephalothin, enrofloxacin, nalidixic acid, apramycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline. The isolates were divided into 65 resistant patterns and 47 of the isolates were shown as a DT104 ASSSuT resistant phenotype.

Antimicrobial susceptibility, plasmid profiles and distribution of toxA gene were investigated in Pasteurella multocida isolated from pneumonic lung lesions of swine. The bacteria were highly susceptible to norfloxacin, cabenicillin, enrofloxacin and chloramphenicol, but resistant to colistin, sulfamethoxawle/trimethoprime, bacitracin, streptomycin. Sixty percentage of the isolates was resistant more than 2 drugs used in this experiment and 21 strains (23.6%) were resistant more than 5 drugs. This phenomenon meant that they had highly multi-drugs resistance. In the analysis of plasmid profiles, nineteen strains (47.5%) of 40 P multocida isolates harbored plasmids, ranging from 53.3kb to 2.49kb in size and the plasmid profiles could be classified into 5 groups. However, there was no relationship between the size and the profile of plasmid and the resistance pattern of antimicrobial agents. Thirty strains of 39 P multocida isolates (77%) investigated by PCR harbored toxA gene. This result suggested involvement of the ToxA protein expressed from the gene in pneumonic pasteurellosis of swine.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of pneumonic bacteria in lungs and nasal swabs of cattle with respiratory diseases. From 95 pneumonic lungs of slaughtered cattle, 41 (43.2%) positive lungs were yielded with 54 pneumonic bacteria, which corresponded to P. multocida (n = 34), A. pyogenes (n = 14) and P. haemolytica (n = 6). One-hundred sixty seven pneumonic bacteria were isolated from 195 nasal swabs in calves, 64.7% (108 isolates) belonged to P. multocida, 16.2% to A. pyogenes, 13.8% to P. haemolytica and 5.4% to H. somnus. Fifty percents (n = 6) of isolates from pneumonic lungs of calves were identified as P. multocida. All isolates of P. multocida belonged to type A according to hyaluronidase test. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that most isolates of P. multocida and P. haemolytica were sensitive to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cephalothin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, fluorophenicol and norfloxacin. The emergence of antimicrobial resistant Pasteurella spp. observed in this study, however, might limit such application. According to histopathological examination, pneumonia by mycoplasma or/and bacteria accounted for 92.8% among 69 pneumonic lungs of slaughtered cattle.

Staphylococcus intermedius (S. intermedius) has been rarely isolated from horse. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of S. intermedius isolated from skin lesions of Thoroughbred horse in Daegu Equestrian Association. The skin lesions were showed with dehairing and slight purulent inflammation. Bacteria were isolated from skin lesions and identified as S. intermedius by biochemical tests and MicroLog (BIOLOG, California, USA). Antimicrobial susceptibility test of S. intemedius isolates was performed with 33 antimicrobial agents (BBL, Maryland, USA) by using the agar disk diffusion method. It showed a high sensibility in the amikacin, amoxycillin/clavuramic acid, ampicillin, cefoxitin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, florfenicol, kanamycin, neomycin, nitrofurantoin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, oxacillin, penicillin G, tetracycline and vancomycin. The horse was treated with penicillin, and cured completely after two weeks. The present results showed valuable information for treatment and prevention of skin disease in horse.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibiotic resistance pattern of E. coli and Salmonella spp. isolated from chicken feces. One hundred and forty-seven E. coli isolates showed resistance to tetracycline (95.2%), erythromycin (89.2%), ampicillin (70.1%), streptomycin (59.2%), cephalothin (56.5%), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (53.7%), ciprofloxacin (57.1%), enrofloxacin (59.2%) and norfloxacin (57.1%). The multiple resistance was seen in 144 isolates (97.9%) and the rate of five, six and seven drugs resistance pattern were 20.4%, 18.4% and 16.3%, respectively. Also, the multiple resistance of E. coli to twelve drugs were seen in 1 isolates (0.7%). Fourteen Salmonella spp. showed resistance to ampicillin (50.0%), streptomycin (57.1%), erythromycin (64.3%) and tetracycline (57.1%) and the rate of two and three drugs resistance pattern were 4 isolates (28.6%), respectively. The prevalence of resistant organisms in Korea probably reflects lack of proper antibiotic policy resulting in prolonged and indiscriminate use of antimicrobial agents.

The examination with 96 bacteria isolates for antibiotics susceptibility was resulted in exploring many antibiotics resistance isolates from the diseased fishes. Vibrio sp. isolates were demonstrated over 90% resistances for Penicillin (P), Amoxicillin (Amc), Erythromycin (I), Colistin (CL). Streptomycin (S). Novobiocin (NV) and Neomycin(N), these isolates were, however, appeared over 80% susceptibilities for Norfloxacin (Nor), CE and UB. In Edwardsiella tarda case, 90 to 100% high resistance was observed for P, Doxycycline (Do), Tetracyclin (Te), Oxytetracycline (T), E, CL, Sulfamethoxasoletrimetoprim (SXT), S, Oxolinic acid (OA), W, Neomycin(N), on the contrary, 90 to 100% high susceptibilities was found for Amc, Nor, Ciprofloxacin (Cip), Orbifloxacin (ORB), Enrofloxacin (ENR), Flumeguine (UB) and NA. CL, Pefloxacin (PEF),S, Flumeguine (UB), OA, NA, NV N was exhibited 90 to 100% resistances for Streptococcus sp., on the other hand, 100% susceptible to AMC and 80% susceptible to Do, Te, ENR and UB was recognised. Lastly, Photobacterium damsela subsp. piscicida was showed 100fe susceptible to Amc and 86% susceptible to NOR, CIP ENR and UB. As a consequence, fish bacterial pathogens isolated from Kyeongnam area, especially Tongyeong-si, Geoje-si, and Goseong-gun, were showed highly resistant to a variety of antibiotics available in the field.

A 7-year-old spayed female Shih-tzu dog with 4-month history of anorexia and weight loss was diagnosed with splenic hemangiosarcoma. One week after splenectomy, the dog developed severe, multifocal, coalescing erosive and ulcerative dermatosis with epidermal collarettes and crusts on the dorsal trunk. The dog was prescribed systemic antibiotics comprising cephradine and enrofloxacin postoperatively. Histopathological examination of skin biopsies from haired skin lesions revealed changes consistent with pemphigus foliaceus (PF). Tentative diagnosis for this patient was pemphigus-like drug reaction resulting from cephradine treatment. However, given the dog's history of hemangiosarcoma, paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP), a rarely reported cancer-related pemphigus in dogs, was also considered for tentative diagnosis. Significant clinical remission of dermal lesions was achieved with four weeks of prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) treatment. Drugs were gradually tapered and eventually discontinued with concurrent reduction of dermal lesions, and no further recurrence was noted.

Salmonella spp. is an important pathogen to both public and swine industry. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of Salmonella serovar and antibiotics susceptibility of the isolates from Korean swine producing systems. A total of 63 (5.28%) Salmonella spp. was isolated from 1,194 samples (977 fecal materials and 67 organ samples). The predominant Salmonella (S.) enterica serotype and serovar was group B (69.8%) and S. Typhimurium (47.6%), S. Derby (20.6%) and S. Heidelberg (1.6%). But S. Cholerasuis which is characterized host specific by septicemia and enteritis to pigs was not isolated. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates varies as follows: Norfloxacine (75%), Ciprofloxacin (67.5%), Amikacin (60%), Colistin (60%), Enrofloxacin (55%). All of isolates were resistant to Erythromycin, Penicillin, Tetracycline and Lincomycin. The results of this study provided useful information regarding antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance patterns to treat salmonellosis and to prevent emergence of multidrug resistance Salmonella.

Identification of antibiotic resistant bacteria isolated from animals is necessary for seeking a proper treatment and for preventing the spread of the bacteria among animals. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is of worldwide concern in veterinary medicine. This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (S. pseudintermedius) isolated from dogs and cats. Out of the total number of 150 specimens, 35 isolates (23.3％) were identified as S. pseudintermedius when tested by MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectroscopy). Among them, 5 isolates (14.3%) were the case of MRSP. In the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test, the isolates of S. pseudintermedius were susceptible to amikacin (100%), cephalothin (100%), vancomycin (100%), amoxicillin (85.7%), oxacillin (85.7%), enrofloxacin (82.8%), chloramphenicol (80%). On the other hand, they were resistant to penicillin (71.4%), tetracycline (48.6%), ampicillin (37.1%), kanamycin (31.5%), erythromycin (31.4%), respectively.
