Development of aminoglycoside and β-lactamase resistance in intestinal microbiota of swine treated with lincomycin, chlorotetracycline and amoxicillin

Development of aminoglycoside and β-lactamase resistance in intestinal microbiota of swine treated with lincomycin, chlorotetracycline and amoxicillin

Lincomycin, chlortetracycline, and amoxicillin are commonly used antimicrobials for growth promotion and infectious disease prophylaxis in swine production. In this study, we investigated the shifts and resistance development among intestinal microbiota in pregnant sows before and after lincomycin,...
