Molecular Identification and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test of Porcine Contagious Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Serotype 3

In order to understand the serotype and drug resistance of porcine contagious Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae(APP), a pair of primers was designed according to GenBank database to amplify specific 950 bp fragment, and the molecular identification and antimicrobial susceptibility test of APP serotype 3 were investigated.The results showed that the PCR product sequences were more than 99% homology with the APP serotype 3 published in GenBank.The isolated strains were highly resistant and multiple drug resistance.The molecular identification and antimicrobial susceptibility test of APP serotype 3 provided the basis for the identification, diagnosis and prevention of porcine contagious pleuropneumonia.
