A recent prospective study , conducted on fecal samples from dogs treated for a period of 60 days for septic peritonitis, pyometra, or bacterial pneumonia, analyzed the bacterial strains isolated in this population and also analyzed their resistance profile. The study confirmed that companion animals can be important reservoirs of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Antimicrobial therapy and resistance: what time link? In the study, antimicrobial administration was associated with the selection of resistance to several classes of antibiotics, including those to which the dogs had not been exposed. Analysis data showed that the presence of...
