Description
Iris Heinsoo and co-authors review chest infection treatment in dogs in this 2023 paper. The condition, pyothorax, is pus in the chest cavity. Common bacteria include mixed anaerobes and several named species. Guidelines suggest certain first choice antibiotics while culture results are pending. The team checked whether those choices match real culture data.
Records covered 53 dogs treated at two referral centers between 2014 and 2020. Just over half had a positive fluid culture. Pasteurella species were the most common isolate, followed by Escherichia coli. Sensitivity of each isolate to tested drugs was tallied. The results were compared with a national poster guide and other published guides. Mismatches point to where first choice advice may need updating.
