Article Synopsis
- Lawsonia intracellularis is a challenging bacterium to culture, requiring specialized conditions for isolation, leading to limited available strains and antimicrobial studies.
- The study successfully isolated two Brazilian and three Thai strains of L. intracellularis and tested various antimicrobials for their effectiveness, with the pleuromutilin group and carbadox showing the highest activity.
- Results indicated that several commonly used antimicrobials had variable effectiveness against L. intracellularis, and the bacterium showed resistance to lincomycin, gentamicin, and others, highlighting the need for targeted treatment options.
