  1. M. gallisepticum strains considered to have acquired resistance according to the microbiological criterion are represented in bold.
  2. * MIC values for enrofloxacin are presented for 26 M. gallisepticum strains tested in this study and for 24 strains tested by the same method with the same reference strains and controls and published previously [6, 8].
