Antibiograms of canine urinary culture results in the light of current recommendation for use of antimicrobials

Abstract

This thesis investigates the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns of bacteria isolated from canine urinary tract infections (UTIs) at the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest. As concerns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) affecting animal and public health continue to grow, such studies provide essential data regarding UTI pathogens to inform guidelines for the prudent use of antimicrobial agents in veterinary medicine. Across 332 dogs, we collected 450 urine samples, between 01 November 2020 and 22 November 2023, and found a positive culture in 43.56% of cases.
