In order to know the current status of sensitivity of Corynebacterium renale to some antimicrobial agents of current use, the sensitivity of 37 strains isolated from urine and vaginal cavity of healthy Korean native cattle and dairy cattle was studied by agar plate dilution method, and their sensitivity according to serological types was compared.
The antimicrobial agents tested were streptomycin (SM), erythromycin (EM), oxytetracycline (OT), penicillin G (PC), gentamycin (GM), kanamycin (KM), ampicillin (AP), leucomycin (LM), chloramphenicol (CM), colistin (CL), sulfadimethoxine (SDM) and sulfadiazine (SDZ).
Most strains were highly sensitive to PC, GM, AP, LM and KM, and moderate to CM and OT, but resistant to SM, EM, CL, SDM and SDZ.
Serological type Ⅱ was more sensitive to EM, SDM and SDZ than type I and III, but more resistant to SM.
