Aerobic cultures were negative, but anaerobic cultures yielded Fusobacterium necrophorum subsp. necrophorum and or F. necrophorum subsp. funduliforme. Hematologic evaluation indicated leukocytosis and increased plasma fibrinogen concentration, whereas serum biochemistry disclosed marked hyperglycemia and mild increases in hepatic enzyme activities, consistent with stress-related metabolic alterations. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that F. necrophorum isolates were susceptible to \u03b2-lactams, tetracyclines, florfenicol, tiamulin, and trimethoprim\/sulfamethoxazole, and resistant to aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and with respect to macrolides, 4 strains were susceptible and 1 strain was resistant to tylosin, tilmicosin, and tulathromycin.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and clinical importance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings indicate involvement of either F. necrophorum subsp. necrophorum or subsp. funduliforme in necrotic laryngitis of feedlot cattle.
