In-feed antibiotics in piglets contribute to the selection of multidrug-resistant enterobacteria. Although both antibiotic-fed and control group piglets shared similar gut microbiota, a significant increase in resistance to certain antibiotics was observed in the antibiotic-fed group. The high frequency of antibiotic resistance among bacteria isolated from the control group suggests that environmental sources may serve as potential reservoirs of multidrug-resistant enterobacteria in pig production systems.
In-feed antibiotics are administered to piglets to improve performance and production efficiency. However, the use of growth promoters in the swine industry can select for multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Here, we evaluate the resistance profile of enterobacteria isolated from fecal samples of weaned pigs (21-35 days) fed or not with antibiotics (colistin and tylosin) and investigated the piglets gut microbiota in both groups. Six hundred and eighteen bacterial cultures were isolated from the control group (CON; n = 384) and antibiotic-fed pigs (ATB; n = 234). All isolates were tested for resistance to 12 antibiotics belonging to six distinct antibiotic classes. Isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin (90%; n = 553), amoxicillin (85%; n = 525), and tetracycline (81%; n = 498). A significant increase (P < 0.05) in resistance to cephalexin, kanamycin, doxycycline, and colistin was observed for bacteria from the ATB group. Piglets allocated in the ATB and CON groups shared similar intestinal microbiota, as revealed by alpha- and beta-diversity analyses. Our findings demonstrate that colistin and tylosin contribute to select MDR enterobacteria in weaned piglets. The high frequency of antibiotic resistance among isolates from the CON group suggests that environmental sources (e.g., fecal contents, aerosols, soil, water, food) also represent a potential reservoir of multidrug-resistant enterobacteria in pig production systems.
