“A study into the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria cultured from the ears of a sample of dogs in Budapest “

Abstract

“Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top ten global public health threats facing humanity”, according to the WHO. AMR is recognized as a One Health concern as it extends across humans, animals, and their environment. The potential for AMR transmission between animals and humans coexisting in the same environment is a major concern. The challenge of antibiotic resistance ranks among the most pressing threats to the treatment of infectious diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated the increasing prevalence of AMR in companion animals. AMR impacting bacterial isolates in the ear canal microbiome has been documented in many countries and is a common occurrence in bacteria associated with otitis. In the ear canal, multidrug-resistant bacteria have also been identified, especially in cases involving Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
