Mycoplasma bovis
is a fastidious pathogen of cattle causing massive economic losses in the calf and dairy industries worldwide. Since there is no approved standard method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of
M. bovis
, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute has requested the development of a suitable method.
Avibacterium
(
Av.
)
gallinarum
is an opportunistic pathogen in poultry, which, however, has also been associated with human disease. There is currently no approved method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of this pathogen, so this study aimed at developing a harmonized broth microdilution method for
Av. gallinarum
that is suitable for diagnostic laboratories.
