Abstract
Histophilus somni is a prevalent commensal organism of the upper respiratory tract of cattle and a major causative agent of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and other syndromes including myocarditis and infectious thromboembolic meningoencephalitis. This study investigated the antimicrobial susceptibility and phylogenetic relationships of H. somni isolates obtained from lung, heart, and other tissues at post-mortem as well as nasal mucosa swabs from cases of BRD in Australian feedlots (2004–2019). Broth microdilution Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assays were determined for 19 antimicrobials using three different media (CLSI approved Veterinary Fastidious Medium [VFM], Mueller-Hinton fastidious broth medium supplemented with yeast extract [MHF-Y] and Columbia Broth [CB] supplemented with 5% lysed horse blood). For all antimicrobials, MICs obtained using CB medium were identical or within 1 dilution step of the MICs obtained for VFM and MHF-Y media. Therefore, CB may be a suitable medium for H. somni antimicrobial susceptibility testing similar to MHF-Y medium. None of the 70 Australian H. somni isolates exhibited resistance to antimicrobials with CLSI breakpoints including those commonly used in the treatment of BRD in Australia (first-line tetracyclines [chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline], second-line macrolides [tulathromycin], and third-line extended-spectrum cephalosporin [ceftiofur]). Whole-genome sequence analysis of 65 H. somni isolates for genomic single nucleotide polymorphism differences identified four phylogenetic clusters, each containing isolates from different Australian states, feedlots and tissue sources that clustered together. These findings demonstrate limited genetic diversity and the absence of significant antimicrobial resistance among Australian isolates of H. somni isolated from feedlot cattle.
