Description
Summary:<b>Aim:</b> The aim of the study was to determine susceptibility of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale isolates to antibiotics from layers, broilers and turkeys.<p> <b>Materials and Methods:</b> The total of 28 isolates (2 layer pullets, 5 broilers, 21 turkeys and 2 standard strains) of O. rhinotracheale were tested. Eighteen antimicrobial discs (penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, oxytetracycline, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, norfloxacin, trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole, clarithromycin, lincomycin, clindamycin, erythromycin, spiramycin, gentamicin, neomycin and streptomycin) were used to determine the susceptibility of O. rhinotracheale isolates to antimicrobials.<p> <b>Results:</b> While all O. rhinotracheale isolates (100%) were susceptible to ampicillin, amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin, all of O. rhinotracheale isolates (100%) were resistant to gentamicin, streptomycin and trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole.<p> <b>Conclusion:</b> In the treatment of O. rhinotracheale infections firstly antibiotic sensitivity should be determined.
