pasteurella species are commensal bacteria of the respiratory airways and oronasal cavity of animals. in this study, we report an unusual case of pasteurella dagmatis isolation from dog urine with uroliths. an 11-year-old female dog was admitted to the veterinary hospital of ahvaz university complaining of abdominal pain, hematuria, dysuria and stranguria. in clinical and radiological examinati...

Susceptibility patterns of Escherichia coli to Veterinary Critically Important Antimicrobials (VCIAs) are poorly understood in most developing countries. We determined those on n = 180 livestock fecal isolates from Chikomba district by disk diffusion method. Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) indices for the were risk analysis. Chi-square was used test how antibiotic susceptibility level asso...

Antibiotics are a class of naturally-occurring and synthetic chemical compounds with antimicrobial activity and are widely used in human and veterinary medicine. The increasing incidence of resistance to a wide range of antibiotic agents by a variety of organisms is a major concern facing modern medicine. There is widespread speculation that sewage treatment plants (STPs) and aquatic environmen...

Campylobacter spp. are common pathogenic bacteria in both veterinary and human medicine. Infections caused by Campylobacter spp. are usually treated using antibiotics. However, the injudicious use of antibiotics has been proven to spearhead the emergence of antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study was to detect the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in Campylobacter spp. isolated...

Animal waste from concentrated swine farms is widely considered to be a source of environmental pollution, and the introduction of veterinary antibiotics in animal manure to ecosystems is rapidly becoming a major public health concern. A housefly larvae (Musca domestica) vermireactor has been increasingly adopted for swine manure value-added bioconversion and pollution control, but few studies ...

The spread of antibiotic resistance is currently a major threat to health that humanity is facing today. Novel multidrug and pandrug resistant bacteria are reported on a yearly basis, while the development of novel antibiotics is lacking. Focus to limit the spread of antibiotic resistance by reducing the usage of antibiotics in health care, veterinary applications, and meat production, have bee...

Development of antibiotic resistance in the microbiota of farm animals and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the agricultural sector not only threaten veterinary use of antibiotics, but jeopardize human health care as well. The effects of exposure to antibiotics on spread and development of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli from the chicken gut were studied. Groups of 15 pullet...

AIM The present study was planned to determine the in vitro antibiotic susceptibility of coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS) strains isolated from clinical and subclinical cases of mastitis in dairy cows. Antibiotic sensitivity profile will be helpful to recommend early therapy at the field level prior to availability of CST results. MATERIALS AND METHODS The milk samples from cases of cli...

Antibiotics are used for disease therapeutic or preventative effects in humans and animals, as well as for enhanced feed conversion efficiency in livestock. Antibiotics can also cause undesirable effects in microbial populations, including selection for antibiotic resistance, enhanced pathogen invasion, and stimulation of horizontal gene transfer. Carbadox is a veterinary antibiotic used in the...
