Pradofloxacin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Profiling of <i>Streptococcus suis</i> Isolates: Insights into Antimicrobial Susceptibility in Swine by Jessica Risser, Ronald Tessman, Don Bade, Orhan Sahin, Maria J. Clavijo, Saumya Dhup, Patrick Hoffmann

“…This research was conducted in two phases: the initial phase examined isolates from the lungs that could be either commensal or pathogenic, while the second phase focused on systemic <i>S. suis</i> strains that spread from the respiratory tract to the brain. The pradofloxacin MIC values of the second phase were within the MIC range of the initial phase, with MIC₅₀ and MIC₉₀ values highlighting its potential as an effective antimicrobial agent. …”
