Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance patterns were studied using 72 Pasteurella multocida isolated from swines in North Eastern Hilly (NEH) region of India against 13 commonly used antimicrobial drugs. All the 72 isolates exhibited complete resistance against sulfadiazine. The calculated resistance pattern revealed that organisms were most sensitive to gentamicin followed by lincomycin, ampicillin, oxytetracyclin, nitrofurantoin and co-trimoxazole but none of the drugs exhibited 100% sensitivity. The resistance percentage against amikacin, streptomycin, spectinomycin, penicillin-G and vancomycin was more than 70% and considered to be non-effective against animal pasteurellosis.
