Product Description:
Tylosin phosphate is a macrolide antibiotic commonly used in cattle, particularly in North America, to control liver abscesses and improve herd health. This study evaluated the effects of subtherapeutic, in-feed administration of tylosin phosphate (11 ppm) over 197 days and its subsequent withdrawal 28 days prior to slaughter on macrolide resistance in enterococci. Fecal samples from treated and untreated steers were analyzed for species diversity, antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance genes, and genetic profiles.
Results showed that tylosin administration increased the proportion of erythromycin-resistant (eryR) and tylosin-resistant (tylR) enterococci in the gut. However, after withdrawal of tylosin from the feed, the proportion of resistant enterococci steadily declined, ultimately showing no significant difference compared to untreated cattle. Among 504 isolates, Enterococcus hirae predominated, followed by E. villorum, E. faecium, E. durans, E. casseliflavus, E. mundtii, E. gallinarum, E. faecalis, and E. thailandicus. Resistant isolates harbored erm(B) and/or msrC genes. The study highlights that antibiotic withdrawal prior to slaughter effectively reduces the presence of macrolide-resistant enterococci entering the food chain, emphasizing responsible tylosin use in livestock management.
