In Canada, although colistin is not approved for use in veterinarymedicine, it was sometimes used in pigs according to special precautions for the oral treatment of digestive infections caused by GNB.1 Nevertheless, mcr-1 gene has been identified in E. coli isolated from humans, as well as from lean ground beef in Canada.6 However, to the best of our knowledge, mcr genes have never been identified in animals at the farm level in Canada. Here we report he screening of fecal samples obtained from one Canadian commercial pig farm, to determine the prevalence over the growing period of mcr-1 and mcr-2 genes in the fecal microbiota of pigs. Colistin has never been used in this farm. However, tiamulin and chlortetracycline were used in the post-weaning period and salinomycin as well as narasin were used during the growing phase.Rhouma MThériault WRabhi NDuchaine CQuessy SFravalo PDove Medical PressarticleColistinpigresistanceMCRmicrobiotaVeterinary medicineSF600-1100ENVeterinary Medicine: Research and Reports, Vol Volume 10, Pp 65-67 (2019)
