Cefquinome can display excellent antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The aim of this study was to derive an optimal dosage of cefquinome against S. suis with a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) integration model in the target infection site and to investigate the cutoffs monitoring the changes of resistance. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) distribution of cefquinome against 342 S. suis strains was determined.

Introduction with regard to jurisdictional claims in Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is a gram-positive facultative anaerobe and increasingly published maps and institutional affil- emerging zoonotic infection with a global distribution [1]. Among the 35 serotypes (1/2, iations. 1–34) of S. suis classified by different capsule antigens, pathogenicity has been reported for serotype 7 strains isolated from diseased animals and humans [2]. Increasing emergence and dissemination of resistance has been reported in recent years, mainly caused by exposure to antibacterial abuse and misuse. Copyright: © 2021 by the authors.
