- Abstract
Cats (Felis catus) are popular companion animals that have close interaction with humans, providing an opportunity for pathogen transmission. This study was aimed to assess the presence of indicator bacteria and to investigate their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profile. Seven rectal swab samples were collected from cats using an amies-collecting swab. The Escherichia coli presumptive test showed that seven isolates (87.5%) were identified as E. coli, indicated by black colonies with a metallic green-sheen on eosin methylene blue agar (EMBA). A total of eight bacterial colonies were successfully isolated and assessed for resistance using the disc diffusion method. Three isolates were resistant to a third-generation cephalosporin (ceftriaxone), indicating that cats are potentially a source of AMR. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis and phylogenetic tree construction on selected isolates, six isolates were identified as E. coli (S2, S4, S6, S10, and KR6) and another as Enterobacter cloacae (S8). This study indicates that cats are potential as reservoirs of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
