Antimicrobial resistance in clinical bacterial isolates from horses in the UK.

Background: Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in horses is important to aid empirical treatment decisions and highlight emerging AMR threats.

Objective: To describe the AMR patterns of common groups of bacteria from clinical submissions from horses in the UK during 2018, and to determine how this varies by sample site and type of submitting veterinary practice.

Study Design: Prospective observational study.
