Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the microbiological profile and risk factors for antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in dogs with severe corneal ulcers, collecting samples from 32 dogs at a veterinary hospital in Thailand.
- 81.3% of the ulcers had culturable microorganisms, with Staphylococcus spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa being the most common bacteria identified, and a significant proportion of Staphylococcus isolates showing methicillin resistance.
- The findings suggest that ulcer size can predict the risk of resistant bacteria, highlighting the need for careful selection of ophthalmic antibiotics in treating severe corneal ulcers.
