Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance in companion animals, particularly in urinary tract infections (UTIs) of dogs and cats, is a growing concern in veterinary medicine.
- A study involving 146 dogs and 162 cats found that E. coli was the most common uropathogen, with significant rates of antibiotic resistance, especially to β-lactams.
- The results underscore the importance of using targeted antibiotic therapies based on urine cultures and sensitivity testing to manage these infections effectively.
