Using 329 isolates from cattle collected in Japan (2013\u20132016 and 2023\u20132025), we linked genotypes to the minimum inhibitory concentrations of seven antimicrobials and predicted the susceptibility of all isolates. A clear association was observed between specific mutations and susceptibility to multiple antimicrobials, suggesting that susceptibility can be predicted based on target gene sequence. Subsequently, the temporal trends in the prevalence of resistance-associated mutations were examined annually.

Because conventional culture and susceptibility testing are time-consuming, empirical treatment is common, often resulting in therapeutic failure and the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. This study developed a rapid diagnostic platform using multiplex PCR and nanopore sequencing to predict antimicrobial susceptibility within only 6 h. Our analysis of 329 Japanese isolates reveals a significant temporal increase in mutations associated with resistance to macrolides, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones between 2013\u20132016 and 2023\u20132025. This cost-effective method enables simultaneous analysis of multiple samples, providing a practical tool for evidence-based clinical decision-making.
