%) <strong>and</strong> spectinomycine (25%) could be recorded. Resistance to<br />

ampicillin+sulbactam (8,1 %), ceftiofur (4,4%), apramycin (0.6 %),<br />

gentamicin (7 %) <strong>and</strong> florfenicol (10 %) was lower. All of the tested E.<br />

coli isolates were sensitive to cefquinome <strong>and</strong> colistin. Resistance to<br />

ciprofloxacin (17 %) <strong>and</strong> enrofloxacin (16,9%) was intermediate.<br />

However, overall quinolone resistance detected by means of nalidix<br />

acid was as high as 29 %. The high level fluoroquinolone resistance<br />

(CIP: 4mg/L <strong>and</strong> ENR: 16 mg/L) (18%) as well as penicillinases<br />

((TEM1,2/SHV1)-low (51%) <strong>and</strong> (TEM1,2/SHV1)-high (25%) was<br />

detected in E. coli isolates. This is the first report of a quantitative<br />

antibiotic susceptibility testing <strong>and</strong> phenotype resistance mechanisms<br />

determination in E. coli isolated from calves in Slovakia.<br />

676 Deciphering the Value of Chlamydia-Serology in Cattle<br />

Bavarian Animal Health Service, Poing, Germany<br />

Chlamydiae are often suspected in reproductive <strong>and</strong> respiratory diseases<br />

of cattle. Because of frequently used ELISA-testing, we tried to assess its<br />

value. Based on 21683 sera a seroprevalence (SerP%) of 37.0%±0.3%<br />

was determined for Bavaria (Idexx-ELISA). Positive sera were detected<br />

in 92.8%±0.9% of the farms (n=765). Average within-herd prevalence<br />

was 37.0%±1.4%. Age-related effects (n=3522): SerP% was highest in<br />

calves less than 9 month of age (mona) (48%±6%) <strong>and</strong> lowest between<br />

21-24 mona (41%±2%)(n.s.). On 5 clinically unaffected farms swabs<br />

were analysed for Chlamydia by PCR (357 animals). Detection rates for<br />

vaginal, nasal <strong>and</strong> conjunctival swabs were 2.5%±0.8%, 2.0%+0.7% <strong>and</strong><br />

1.1%±0.6%, respectively. Detection rate was 22% for calves 12 months (p=0.014). SerP% in ELISA were 36% <strong>and</strong> 10% for Idexx<br />

<strong>and</strong> Pourquier, respectively. While SerP% (Idexx) increased from 22% in<br />

calves
