ABSTRACT

Characterization
and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiles of Campylobacter coli Isolates from
Swine. Onl J Vet Res., 7:52-58, 2003. RiboPrinter® was used to determine genetic
relatedness and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of 104 Campylobacter coli isolates from feces of 3 sows
and rectal swabs of 18 piglets housed in the same facility. C. coli isolates segregated into 20 ribogroups and exhibited 22 antibiotic susceptibility
profiles. No discernible pattern of ribogroup
relatedness was observed between sows, piglets or littermates. Results
suggest a high level of both ribotypic and
antimicrobial susceptibility diversity within C. coli isolates from both
related and non-related pigs housed in a single facility.
