Antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli from Swedish piglets with diarrhoea and associations with potential risk factors
Clinical submissions do not overestimate occurrence of AMR in E. coli from Swedish piglets with diarrhoea and are therefore relevant for AMR monitoring. Even at low treatment rates, post-farrowing treatment of sows increases the risk for AMR in piglets. This applies especially for trimethoprim-sulphonamide resistance, but also for resistance to other antibiotics, and indicates that antibiotic use must be reduced substantially to achieve a reduction of AMR.
