Drug resistant plasmid of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolated from swine pleuropneumonia in Thailand.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, isolated from the pneumonic lung tissue of pigs, was resistant to streptomycin, sulfadiazine and tetracycline. This isolate, TA5, possessed 2 plasmids (pTA51 = 3.7 Kb, pTA52 = 6.2 Kb); one of the plasmids (pTA52) was coded for resistance to SM and SA. Another isolate of A. pleuropneumoniae, TA8, also possessed 2 plasmids (pTA81 = 3.7 Kb, pTA82 = 4.4 Kb), with a plasmid (pTA82) coded for resistance to SM and SA. All 4 plasmids were not transmissible and small.
