Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of uropathogens in dogs and cats showing signs of urinary tract infections and analyze their antimicrobial resistance patterns.
- Over the research period from 2015 to 2019 in Santiago, Chile, a significant number of urine samples from both dogs (37.7%) and cats (26.1%) tested positive for bacterial growth, with Escherichia coli being the most frequently isolated pathogen.
- High levels of antibiotic resistance were found among the bacteria, particularly against common medications like amoxicillin and fluoroquinolone, which poses public health concerns regarding managing infections in pets.
