Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the species-specific gene detection and antimicrobial susceptibility of Pasteurella (P.) multocida isolated from pneumonic lung lesions of Youngnam swine herds during the period from July 2006 to September 2007. A total of 91 (36.3%) strains of P. multocida were isolated from 251 pneumonic lung lesions. The species-specific P. multocida gene was detected at 460 bp amplicons by PCR. The P. multocida tested was susceptible to florofenicol (93.4％), amikacin (91.2％), cephalothin (87.9％), cefoxitin (84.6％), ofloxacin (80.2％) and norfloxacin (65.9％) in 27 antimicrobial susceptibility tests. Most of strains were resistant to more than 5 drugs.
