Abstract

The antimicrobial susceptibility of 55 isolates of Moraxella bovis to seven antibiotics was evaluated by broth microdilution procedures. The isolates had an MIC 90 of ≤1 mg/l to erythromycin, ceftiofur, and ampicillin; 4 mg/l to tilmicosin; 16 mg/l to tylosin and gentamicin; and had MIC 90s of ≥32 mg/l for oxytetracycline. The modal MIC values for these antibiotics were as follows: ampicillin, <0.25 mg/l; ceftiofur, ≤0.125 mg/l; tilmicosin, 2 mg/l; tylosin, 8 mg/l; erythromycin 1 mg/l; oxytetracycline, ≤0.5 mg/l; and gentamicin, ≤0.5 mg/l. This in vitro data showed most antibiotics have low MICs that are suggestive of clinical efficacy.
