Abstract

ABSTRACT The genetic diversity and antibiotic resistance profiles of 38 Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus isolates were determined from a kennelled canine population during two outbreaks of hemorrhagic pneumonia (1999 to 2002 and 2007 to 2010). Analysis of the szp gene hypervariable region and the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) indicated a predominant tetO -positive, doxycycline-resistant ST-10 strain during 1999 to 2002 and a predominant tetM -positive doxycycline-resistant ST-62 strain during 2007 to 2010.
