Antibiotic susceptibilities of recent isolates ofMycopasma bovisin Belgium

Abstract: The susceptibilities of 40 recent Belgian field isolates of Mycoplasma bovis to 10 antimicrobial agents were assessed. Tiamulin was the most active antimicrobial agent against M bovis, with an initial inhibitory concentration (IIC50) of 0.06 microg/ml, but it is not licensed for the treatment of cattle. All three fluoroquinolones tested (danofloxacin, enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin) were effective against strains of M bovis, and had a minimum mycoplasmacidal concentration (MMC50) less than or equal to 1 microg… Show more

“…If this occurs, then M. bovis infection might persist because many strains are resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat pneumonia in feedlot cattle 4,31,33 and because the variability of the immunodominant surface lipoproteins could allow evasion of the immune response. 15 Thus, although M. bovis commonly colonizes normal bovine lungs without ill effect, it might be able to proliferate and express virulence genes within the lesions of fibrinosuppurative bronchopneumonia, leading to a self-perpetuating, antibiotic-resistant, chronic disease.…”

“…1,2,7,8,23,25,28 Many strains of M. bovis are resistant to the antibiotics that are commonly used in feedlots, consistent with observations that natural disease often persists despite antibiotic therapy. 4,31,33 Mycoplasma bovis has the ability to undergo antigenic variation by phenotypic alteration of the immunodominant surface lipoproteins 5,15,26 and modulates the host immune response. 11,35,37,38 In addition, M. bovis can adhere to, invade, and survive in epithelial and inflammatory cells.…”

“…Marbofloxacin is a third generation of fluoroquinolone with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against some grampositive, most gram-negative organisms and Mycoplasma [2][3][4] with a relatively low concentration [5,6]. It prevents the bacterial DNA replication and synthesis via inhibition of the A subunit of the bacterial DNA gyrase.…”

“…5,6,13 Commercial vaccines preventing the infection are not presently available, with the exception of recently approved, custom-designed, inactivated vaccines for use in North America. Increasing numbers of M. bovis strains are developing resistance to antibiotics, 18 and knowledge of pathogenesis and persistence of M. bovis, especially in the respiratory tract, is still insufficient.…”
