Summary: Results from the MycoPath pan-European antimicrobial susceptibility monitoring survey of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in 2015-2016 showed similar MIC50/90 values to the 2010-2012 study, with an increase in MIC50 of oxytetracycline. Variations in MIC values for fluoroquinolones, tulathromycin, and tylosin were observed among different countries, although limited sample sizes prevented meaningful country comparisons. Standardized laboratory methods and interpretive criteria for MIC testing of veterinary mycoplasmas are needed.

Summary: The study identified ten strains of Mycoplasma bovis in yaks through bacteriological determination and PCR detection, and analyzed their growth curve, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genetic characteristics. The findings will serve as reference for further research and treatment of Mycoplasma bovis in yaks.

Summary: This study presents the results of the first international antimicrobial susceptibility programme for mycoplasma pathogens isolated from poultry, providing a baseline of novel data for future monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in poultry Mycoplasma species. The study indicates variations in susceptibilities based on host species, Mycoplasma species, and country of origin, and highlights the importance of selecting effective antimicrobial agents for targeted therapeutic treatments.

Summary: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has been reported in various ocular infections, with the strain being resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics. However, fluoroquinolones can be used as first-line antibiotics for S. maltophilia endophthalmitis, as they exhibit low antibiotic MIC90 values.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a method for harmonized broth microdilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of Mycoplasma bovis. The SP4 broth was found to be a suitable medium for AST, and consistent minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were obtained. The validation of M. bovis DSM 22781(T) as a future quality control (QC) strain is recommended.

Summary: This study proposes a machine learning-based approach to predict the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of specific antibiotics using unitigs sequences data. Multiple regression models were built and compared, with RandomForest and CATBoost models performing the best. The study provides important insights into predicting MICs and identifying genomic regions associated with antibiotic resistance.

Summary: Tracheal samples provided the earliest detection, especially at large sample sizes; Serum samples, although more commonly collected and less expensive to test, yielded high probability of detection estimates only 30 days postexposure at large sample sizes; Oral fluid samples had significantly lower probability of detection estimates within 30 days compared to tracheal and serum samples.

Summary: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the causative agent of enzootic pneumonia in pigs, characterized by a dry cough, labored breathing, and pneumonia. P97 mutants generated through recombination lack cilia binding and adherence to PK15 cells, and exhibit a distinct banding pattern in immunoblots.

Summary: Although antibiotic treatment cannot eradicate avian mycoplasmosis, it can reduce the number of deaths. One major challenge of antibiotic treatments is the development of antimicrobial resistance among field isolates. Regular determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics is necessary to optimize treatment dosages.

Summary: This study found that amoxicillin, furazolidone, and tetracycline showed good anti-H. pylori activity in vitro in South China, while metronidazole, clarithromycin, and levofloxacin did not. Similar results were found with clarithromycin and levofloxacin, but not with amoxicillin, metronidazole, or tetracycline when different breakpoints were used.

Summary: In this study, the presence of Mycoplasma bovis in calves with respiratory disease in Algeria was investigated. The results revealed a high prevalence of M. bovis antibodies in the blood serum samples collected. M. bovis was also detected in broncho-alveolar lavage fluids from diseased calves, and genetic analysis showed a diverse population with new subtypes. The study highlights the importance of monitoring and understanding the genetic diversity of M. bovis in order to develop effective control strategies for bovine respiratory disease.

Summary: The study found a moderate correlation between antibiotics amoxicillin and florfenicol, while highly significant correlations were detected for antibiotics oxytetracycline, oxolinic acid, flumequine, and enrofloxacin, indicating a tight association between MIC and disk values.
