To date, little is known about the molecular basis of antimicrobial resistance in Bordetella bronchiseptica, an important respiratory tract pathogen in pigs, dogs and cats. The aim of this study was to identify genes coding for trimethoprim resistance present in porcine B. bronchiseptica and to determine their localization, transferability and association with other resistance genes.
