Abstract
Neomycin, an aminoglycoside, is use at farm level for Escherichia coli treatment of piglets postweaning diarrhea, with 40% of unsuccessfully treatment due to the antimicrobial resistance. To overcome this situation, veterinarians use colistin also call polymyxin E. but this antibiotic is not homologated in Canada, even if it seems to be effective against E. Coli.

Neomycin, an aminoglycoside, is use at farm level for Escherichia coli treatment of piglets postweaning diarrhea, with 40% of unsuccessfully treatment due to the antimicrobial resistance. To overcome this situation, veterinarians use colistin also call polymyxin E. but this antibiotic is not homologated in Canada, even if it seems to be effective against E. Coli.
