Minimum Inhibitory Concentration and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration Results for Brachyspira Species: What is the Difference?
Selected antibiotics commonly used in pigs have bactericidal properties approximately double the MIC value, according to research by David Burch and others in the UK presented at The European Symposium on Porcine Health Management (ESPHM) 2014. They also establish the antimicrobial resistance - defined by different measures - of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, the pathogen causing swine dysentery.
