The capsular serogroupes and drug susceptibility of 111 isolates of Pasteurella multocida from pigs with atrophic rhinitis and pneumonic lesions were investigated. Of the 111 P multocida isolates, 42 were from lung lesions, 47 from nasal turbinate lesions and the remaining 22 from the nasal swabs. P multocida isolates were typed for capsular serogroupes A by hyaluronidase inhibition of capsule and D by acriflavine auto-agglutination. Most isolates (64.9 %) were type A, 23.4 % were type D and the remaining 11.7 % were untypable. Resistance to triple sulfa (97.3 %) was most frequent, followed by resistance to tiamulin (71.2 %), tylosin (56.8 %), streptomycin (36.9 %), and neomycin (36.0 %). The majority of the organisms were susceptible in order of prevalence to baytril (100 %), ampicillin (98.2 %), linsmycin (97.3 %), cephalothin (94.6 %), gentamycin (93.7 %), amikacin (92.3 %), tetracycline (91.9 %), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (91.0 %), and kanamycin (90.1 %). No differneces in drug resistance in relation to capsular serogroupes of P multocida and the origin of lesions were noted. A high prevalence of multiple drug resistance was observed and the most common resistant patterns were Sss, Tm, Ty (12.6 %) and Sm, Sss, Tm, Ty (8.1 %) patterns
