title: Sensitivities of Escherichia coli isolated from bovine and porcine enteric infections to antimicrobial antibiotics.
abstract: The antibiotic sensitivities of Escherichia coli isolated from 91 diarrheal pigs and 98 diarrheal calves were determined to 19 different microbials by the Kirby-Bauer method. Virtually all E coli isolated from pigs and calves were sensitive to amikacin, colistin, gentamicin, and polymyxin B. In vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations for these 4 antibiotics were determined for isolates from both pigs and calves.
