Abstract
The antimicrobial susceptibility of 55 isolates of Moraxella bovis to seven antibiotics
was evaluated by broth microdilution procedures. The isolates had an MIC90 of < or
= 1 mg/l to erythromycin, ceftiofur, and ampicillin; 4 mg/l to tilmicosin; 16 mg/l
to tylosin and gentamicin; and had MIC90s of > or = 32 mg/l for oxytetracycline. The
modal MIC values for these antibiotics were as follows: ampicillin, < 0.25 mg/l; ceftiofur,
< or = 0.125 mg/l; tilmicosin, 2 mg/l; tylosin, 8 mg/l; erythromycin 1 mg/l; oxytetracycline,
< or = 0.5 mg/l; and gentamicin, < or = 0.5 mg/l. This in vitro data showed most antibiotics
have low MICs that are suggestive of clinical efficacy.
