Animal-assisted interventions (AAIs) are being implemented in many countries for the
beneficial effects they have on humans. Patients involved in AAI are often individuals at …

The last 10 years have seen a progressive increase in antibiotic resistance rates in bacteria
isolated from companion animals. Exposure of individuals to resistant bacteria from …

In veterinary medicine, the issue of antimicrobial resistance was mainly addressed in food-
producing animals (although companion animals also deserve attention). Indeed, these …

Dogs have been reported as potential carriers of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, but the role
of cats has been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and …

Resistance to antimicrobials, in particular that mediated by extended spectrum β-lactamases
(ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamases are frequently reported in bacteria causing canine disease …

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern with implications for animal
health. This study investigated the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among commensal …

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-and plasmid-mediated cephalosporinase
(AmpC)-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL/AmpC-E) are an increasing healthcare problem …

The study aimed to characterize beta-lactam resistance mechanisms of Enterobacteriaceae
isolates recovered from diseased dogs and cats between 2008 and 2010 in a European …

ABSTRACT A longitudinal study was performed to (i) investigate the continuity of shedding
of extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae in dogs …

Organisms in the family Enterobactericeae including, Escherichia coli, commonly cause
