  title = {Antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia coli from swine, horses,dogs and cats as determined in the BfT-GermVet moni-toring program 2004-2006},
  abstract = {A total of 417 isolates of Escherichia coli collected from five animal species/organ System combinations from swine [urinary/genital tract (UGT) incl.mastitis metritis agalactia syndrome], horses [genital tract (GT)] and dogs/cats [respiratory tract (RT), UGT and gastrointestinal tract (GIT)] were analysed guantitatively for their susceptibility against different antimicrobial agents by determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations. Regardless of which animal species the strains origi-nated from, resistance appeared most freguently against sulfamethoxazole (18-59 %),tetracycline (14-54%), and ampicillin (14-39%). High percentages of intermediate isolates were observed for cephalothin (39-46 %). In general, low prevalences of resistance were detected for amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (1-4 %), gentamicin (1-9 %), and cefazolin (0-11 %).Generally speaking,the antimicrobia resistance Situation among E.coli isolates from horses and small animals is rela-tively good.},
