Mycoplasma synoviae is one of the economically most significant avian Mycoplasma species. It can cause great financial losses to the poultry industry by inducing respiratory diseases, infectious synovitis, or eggshell apex abnormalities. There are different approaches to control M. synoviae infection. Although antimicrobial therapy cannot replace long-term solutions, like eradication and vaccination, this strategy can be effective in the short term, as adequate antibiotic treatment can relieve economic losses through the attenuation of clinical signs and reduction of transmission. Using broth microdilution method, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values to fourteen antibiotics related to eight antimicrobial groups were determined in 96 M. synoviae strains. Whole genome sequencing and sequence analysis revealed mutations potentially associated with decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones, macrolides and lincomycin. Molecular markers responsible for the high MICs to fluoroquinolones were found in the gyrA, gyrB, parC and parE genes. Besides, single nucleotide polymorphisms identified in genes encoding the 23S rRNA were found to be responsible for high MICs to the 50S inhibitor macrolides and lincomycin, while amino acid change in the 50S ribosomal protein L22 could be associated with decreased susceptibility to macrolides. The revealed mutations can contribute to the extension of knowledge about the genetic background of antibiotic resistance in M. synoviae. Moreover, the explored potentially resistance-related mutations may serve as targets for molecular biological assays providing data of antibiotic susceptibility prior to the laborious and time-consuming isolation of M. synoviae strains.
