Examination of urine microflora and resistance of isolated pathogens during inflammatory processes of the urinary tract in dogs

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are currently frequently isolated from pets and farm animals. The long-term irrational use of antibiotics for the treatment animals humans is underestimated requires further attention research, including in Ukraine. aim our study was to identify bacterial isolates their sensitivity urinary tract inflammation dogs. According statistical data VetForce system BTNAU clinic, out 202 dogs examined 15 (7.43 %) were diagnosed with diseases signs inflammation. It has been established that a large number microorganisms, mainly E. coli, Streptococcus urinae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus, causes inflammatory processes A less common microorganism, Klebsiella pneumonia, proved be resistant. found cystitis (the first group animals) prevailed 1.5 times more often than urolithiasis. In 6–12 years old over 12 old, percentage disease higher compared 0.6 1.6 by 10.2 22.2 %, respectively. Dogs second group, aged 1.6–12 years, suffering urolithiasis (66.6 %), suffer 4 0.6–1.6 years. Escherichia aureus identified urine this group. associated form, coli pyogene predominated resistant strain pneumonia amoxicillin, streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin tetracycline identified. Antibiotics should used rationally, taking into account it necessary determine pathogen which animal infected. Antibiotic therapy carried until complete elimination, sometimes achieved through prolonged treatment.
