If Salmonella are the main target of antimicrobial therapy in adult cattle with diarrhea, drug selection should ideally be based on the results of susceptibility testing using bacterial strains recovered from that particular dairy or feedlot. Despite this importance, the United States Department of Agriculture Dairy 2007 study shows a preweaned Antimicrobial Decision Making heifer calf mortality rate of 8.7% and reports that only 40% of farms can supply an adequate number of replacements from their own herd. The investigators concluded that amoxicillin had a significant effect on disease by decreasing mortality and number of scouring days; however, treatment success could not be predicted by whether the E coli cultured from rectal swabs was susceptible or resistant to the antimicrobial being used.	./cache/cord-333535-pzjj2wxc.txt	./txt/cord-333535-pzjj2wxc.txt
