Background: Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis) is the primary agent of Glässer's disease, significantly affecting nursery and early fattening piglets. Current prophylactic measures, mainly serovar-specific bacterins administered to sows, are limited by maternal immunity, which can interfere with active immunization in piglets.

The main objectives were to identify prevalent serotypes, differentiate specific serotypes 1, 14, 2, and 1/2, investigate specific genotypic and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance features, and explore associations between resistance genes and phenotypic resistances. Serotypes 9 (21.
