Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance is a rising threat in the agrifood sector. The misuse of antibiotics exerts selective pressure, driving resistance mechanisms in bacteria, which could ultimately spread through many routes and render treatments for infectious diseases inefficient in humans and animals. Herein, we report antimicrobial susceptibility data obtained for six lactic acid bacteria, the members of which are commonly used in the food and feed chain. Fifteen antimicrobials were considered for the phenotypic testing: ampicillin, gentamicin, kanamycin, tetracycline, erythromycin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, vancomycin, quinupristin-dalfopristin, bacitracin, sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, linezolid, and rifampicin. The reported dataset could be used for the comparison, generation, and reconsideration of new and/or existing cut-off values when considering lactic acid bacteria, particularly lactobacilli and pediococci.
