Abstract excerpt
Macrolide and lincosamide (ML)-resistant streptococci and enterococci from tonsillar and colon swabs from 33 pigs and 99 pork carcasses swabs from animals originating from different farms in Belgium were isolated, and their ML resistance phenotypes and genotypes were determined by disk diffusion test and PCR assay, amplifying the ermB gene and the mefA gene.
