Abstract

Pneumonic pasteurellosis causes a significant economic loss in small ruminant production but its control is complicated because of drug resistance development. It is multifactorial but the most frequently isolated bacterial species are Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida), Mannheimia haemolytica (M. haemolytica), and Bibersteinia trehalosi (B. trehalosi). The antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of those commonly isolated respiratory pathogens of sheep and goats were determined to get insight for better antimicrobial therapy. The isolates were identified from pneumonic sheep and goats by Assosa Agricultural Research Center from November 2019 to April 2020 in Assosa and Bambasi woredas of Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State. 25 isolates from pneumonic sheep and 11 isolates from pneumonic goats preserved at Assosa Regional Veterinary Laboratory were tested against commonly used antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the isolates were carried out using the disc diffusion method. The identified isolates were susceptible to Sulfonamide (94.4%) and Norfloxacin (91.7%). However, they were resistant to Streptomycin (88.9%) and Kanamycin (80.6%), and intermediate to Trimethoprim (55.6%). From all of the isolates, 42.4% of sheep and 40% of goat origin were resistant to all antimicrobial discs tested. About 31 out of 36 (86.6%) isolates were resistant to two or more discs and 69.4% of them were resistant to Streptomycin and Kanamycin. 81.8% (9/11) from goats and 64% (16/25) isolates from sheep were resistant to Streptomycin and Kanamycin. Eight out of thirty-six (22.2%) were resistant to three discs and none of them were resistant to four or more discs tested. Therefore, antimicrobial susceptibility monitoring programs for P. multocida, M. haemolytica, and B. trehalosi are crucial for proper antimicrobial therapy. Sulfonamide and Norfloxacin were preferred from the antimicrobial discs tested and are suggested to treat pneumonic sheep and goats. Further characterization of the isolates through a more specific diagnostic marker is recommended.
