Multidrug resistance of bacterial pathogens in canine pyometra

Puntos clave

To assess the presence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and their potential sources in canine pyometra cases.
Isolated bacteria from canine pyometra cases.
Conducted antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Examined genetic relationships of Escherichia coli from intestinal and reproductive samples.
Detected multidrug-resistant bacteria in all examined genera.
Identified genetically similar E. coli isolates from both intestinal and reproductive tract samples.

Resumen

The presence of multidrug-resistant bacteria across all genera isolated in cases of canine pyometra underscores the clinical importance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Furthermore, the recovery of genetically related Escherichia coli isolates from intestinal and reproductive tract samples supports the intestinal microbiota as a relevant source of infection in affected bitches.
