Overview
Tetracycline Susceptibility in Chlamydia suis Pig Isolates.
All C. suis isolates from the Italian pig herd carried the tet(C) gene and exhibited tetracycline resistance with MIC values ranging from 0.5 to 4 μg/mL. The study confirmed the presence of tet(C) and tetR(C) transcripts in all isolates under both in vitro conditions.
Asymptomatic infections with highly polymorphic Chlamydia suis are ubiquitous in pigs.
The study identifies the presence of tetracycline resistance gene tet(C) and tetracycline repressor gene tetR(C) in Chlamydia suis strains, indicating tetracycline resistance mechanisms in these strains.
