ABSTRACT

 

Sheffield CL, Hume ME, Droleskey RE, Harvey RB, Bischoff KM. 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.
