    Abstract:
    A total of 10,890 bacterial isolates of Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus uberis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli isolated as etiological agents from dairy cows with mastitis by 29 veterinary laboratories across North America between 2011 and 2022 were tested for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility by broth microdilution to ampicillin, cefoperazone, ceftiofur, cephalothin, erythromycin, oxacillin, penicillin-novobiocin and pirlimycin according to CLSI standards. Using available clinical breakpoints, antimicrobial resistance among S. dysgalactiae (n = 2406) was low for penicillin-novobiocin (0% resistance), ceftiofur (0.1%), erythromycin (3.2%) and pirlimycin (4.6%). Among S. uberis (n = 2398), resistance was low for ampicillin (0%) and ceftiofur (0.2%) and moderate for erythromycin (11.9%) and pirlimycin (18.4%). For S. aureus (n = 3194), resistance was low for penicillin-novobiocin (0%), ceftiofur (0.1%), oxacillin (0.2%), erythromycin (0.7%), cefoperazone (1.2%) and pirlimycin (2.8%). For E. coli (n = 2892), resistance was low for ceftiofur (2.8%) and cefoperazone (3.4%) and moderate for ampicillin (9.2%). Overall, the results indicate that mastitis pathogens in the United States and Canada have not shown any substantial changes in the in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs over the 12 years of the study, or among that of the proceeding survey from 2002-2010. The data support the conclusion that resistance to common antimicrobial drugs among mastitis pathogens, even to drugs that have been used in dairies for mastitis management for many years, continues to remain low.
