Third-generation cephalosporin resistant Escherichia coli in dogs and cats in Germany in 2019-2021.

Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a worldwide challenge, threatening global health. The objective of this research was to determine the 3rd generation cephalosporin resistance (3GCR) proportion in Escherichia (E.) coli isolated from clinical samples of dogs and cats in Germany.

Comparative Analysis of Methicillin-Resistant Prevalence and Resistance Patterns in Canine and Feline Clinical Samples: Insights from a Three-Year Study in Germany.

The emergence of methicillin-resistant (MRSP) presents a significant public health concern globally, particularly within veterinary medicine. MRSP's resistance to multiple antibiotics is limiting treatment options and potentially leading to severe infections in companion animals. This study aimed to understand antimicrobial resistance in dogs and cats, focusing on MRSP resistance patterns and its prevalence in Germany.

Prevalence of MRSA in canine and feline clinical samples from one-third of veterinary practices in Germany from 2019-2021.

Background: MRSA is a major contributor to AMR-related deaths. The WHO's global action plan emphasizes a One Health approach, acknowledging the connection between humans and their companion animals. It is agreed on that comprehensive AMR surveillance is needed.

Do plasma neprilysin activity and plasma neprilysin concentration predict cardiac events in chronic kidney disease patients?

Background: Since the introduction of sacubitril/valsartan in clinical cardiology, neprilysin has become a major target for heart failure treatment. Plasma neprilysin concentration has been discussed as a novel biomarker that predicts cardiac events. Natriuretic peptides may inhibit plasma neprilysin.

Are we being forced into isolation?

Do you ever feel a sense of being locked in? Has it been more than a year since you went out for lunch? Are e-mails your main source of keeping in touch with friends and colleagues? What are the issues for our self-inflicted isolation? What am I hearing and seeing? Case managers are saying they do not have time to meet with manufacturers or home care providers, and then the home care providers are upset that no one cares about what they have to offer.
