Abstract

Of 3, 442, 463 slaughter pigs in Shibaura Meat Inspection Center during the period of April 1984 to March 1995, 1, 365 (0.04%) were diagnosed as swine erysipelas. The clinical types could be divided into arthritis or lymphadenites (1, 184 cases), urticaria (145 cases), endocarditis (34 cases) and septicemia (3 cases). A total of 1, 374 of E. rhusiopathiae isolates were serotyped and 97% of them were serotypes la (63.0%), 2 (27.3%), 1b (6.1%) and 5 (0.4%). Specific serotypes were predominant in each farm. The antibiograms of 308 isolates revealed high susceptiblity to penicillin G, ampicillin and erythromycin, while some isolates were resistant to oxytetracyclines and streptomycin.
