Intensive use of antimicrobialagents in swine husbandries during the last years triggered the development of antibiotic resistances in bacterialpathogens. Thus, regular susceptibility testing is crucial to ensure efficacy of different antimicrobial agents tothis porcine pathogen. In this study, 50 clinical isolates from South Brazilian pig herds were characterized andanalyzed for their susceptibility to commonly used antibiotic. The identification and typing of clinical isolateswas carried out by a modified indirect hemagglutination assay combined with a multiplex PCR. The susceptibilityof each isolate was analyzed by broth microdilution method against a panel of antimicrobial compounds. Wefound that field isolates are highly resistance to gentamycin, bacitracin, lincomycin and tiamulin, but sensitive toampicillin, clindamycin, neomycin, penicillin, danofloxacin and enrofloxacin. Furthermore, an individualsusceptibility analysis indicated that enrofloxacin is effective to treat clinical isolates with the exception of thoseclassified as serovar PB Scielo YR 2017 FD 2017-08-01 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10612/6462 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10612/6462 NO Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2006 NO 12 p.
