To better understand the prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant among sheltered companion animals, we conducted a screening study of 38 dogs and 78 cats and investigated the resistance mechanisms and characteristics of the isolates. Fluoroquinolone-resistant was detected in 18 dogs (47.4 %) and 14 cats (17.

- The study examines the prevalence of cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in sheltered dogs and cats, highlighting concerns for both human and animal health.
- Researchers collected fecal samples from 151 dogs and 182 cats, identifying resistance genes and assessing their relationships with factors like sex and diet.
- The findings revealed a notable presence of various resistant bacteria, with diverse genetic backgrounds, indicating that pets could link the spread of these antimicrobial-resistant strains between humans and other species.
