In this study, we investigated the prevalence and degree of antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus spp. isolated from 377 pig faecal samples. The most frequently observed resistance in E. coli isolates was to tetracycline (92.6%), followed by resistance to ampicillin (68.3%) and streptomycin (68.0%). E. faecium and E. faecalis also showed resistance to tetracycline (57.9%, 98.7%) and erythromycin (69.2%, 66.0%). Of the isolates, 93.4% and 73.9% of E. coli and Enterococcus spp. strains showed resistance against more than two of antimicrobial agents tested, respectively. This study exhibits higher prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in commensal enteric bacteria in pigs, and highlights the urgent need for measures to regulate the abuse of antimicrobial agents, especially in food producing animals in Korea.
