- Abstract
Background: Bacterial urinary tract infections are one of the most frequent infectious diseases in dogs. Regarding treatment options targeted antibiotic therapy is of basic importance on the basis of microbiologic evaluation of the urine and antibiotic sensitivity of the cultured bacteria strain. Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria cultured from urinary tract infections. Materials and Methods: The samples were collected by cystocentesis from dogs that were referred to the Small Animal Clinic of the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest, Hungary between 2015 and 2017. Urine samples were cultured and the bacteria from the positive samples were tested for antibiotic sensitivity. Cytological examination of the urine sediment was also executed, In total we analysed 61 positive urine cultures collected from 53 dogs. Results and Discussion: From the 61 samples 56 infections were monomicrobial and from 5 of them two bacterial strains were isolated. The isolated bacterial species in order of their prevalence were Escherichia coli (57.4%), Proteus mirabilis (18.0%), Staphylococcus pseudointermedius (9.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (8.2%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp., ß-hemolytic Streptococcus (3.3-3.3%), Corynebacterium urealyticum, Mycoplasma canis and Citrobacter koseri (1.6-1.6%). The isolated bacteria showed high in vitro resistance level to amoxicillin (22.7%), trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (19.7%), fluoroquinolones (18.2%), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (16.7%) and gentamicin (15.2%). Cytology of positive urine samples did not show inflammation in 19% of the cases. Therapeutic trials can result in antibiotics over-usage along with growing bacterial resistance. Local data about cultured bacteria and their sensitivity is of importance in selecting antibacterial treatment. Normal urine cytology does not exclude bacterial urinary tract infection.
