Susceptibility of Streptococcus suis to various antimicrobial agents.
A study was performed to determine the susceptibility of 59 S. suis strains, isolated from sick and healthy carrier swine, to a range of antimicrobial agents. The beta-lactamic group proved more active both in Kirby-Bauer and MCI tests. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole emerged as an alternative drug in chemoprevention and treatment of S. suis infections.
