Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat to public health, affecting the efficacy of antibiotics in both veterinary and human medicine. This study investigates the resistance of bacteria associated with bovine respiratory disease, finding regional differences in antimicrobial resistance trends and a higher prevalence of resistance in Histophilus compared to Pasteurella and Mannheimia.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat that jeopardizes efficacy of antibiotics in veterinary and human medicine. Antibiotics are commonly administered to target the bacterial component of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). The objectives of this study were to obtain a better understanding of antibiotic resistance in BRD-associated bacteria (Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni), investigate the clinical significance of AMR by monitoring clinical outcomes, and determine if regional differences exist in AMR trends. Deep pharyngeal swabs were used to sample beef cattle at initial BRD diagnosis (n = 453) from US feedlots representing three geographic regions. Organisms were identified by bacterial culture and subjected to broth microdilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Bacterium prevalence include P. multocida (36.0%), M. haemolytica (32.7%), and H. somni (28.5%). Of the Histophilus isolates, 39.5% were resistant to at least one antimicrobial, compared to 11.7% and 8.8% Pasteurella and Mannheimia, respectively. Non-susceptibility across all organisms was 5.7 X more likely in animals that received metaphylaxis, than those that did not (p < 0.0001; OR 5.7; CI 2.6-12.5). During days on feed 21-40, non-susceptibility of Histophilus was 8.7 X more likely than Mannheimia (p = 0.0002; OR 8.7; CI 2.8 to 27.4) and 6 X more likely than Pasteurella (p = 0.0016; OR 6.0; CI 2.0-18.0).
