Article Synopsis
- - Topical antimicrobials, like wipes, are important for treating infections in dogs as antimicrobial resistance rises, but there’s limited research on their effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
- - A study tested two antimicrobial wipes (chlorhexidine and acetic acid/boric acid) against various dog infection-causing pathogens, finding that chlorhexidine wipes were effective in vitro, especially against certain bacteria and fungi.
- - The results indicated a significant difference in effectiveness among the pathogens tested, revealing that acetic acid/boric acid wipes did not inhibit growth for many isolates, while chlorhexidine showed considerable antimicrobial activity.
