Description
Alessia Facchin and colleagues published a 2024 study of drug-resistant gut bacteria in Italian dogs. Resistant bacteria threaten human and animal health alike. Dogs may carry and spread them silently. The team tested feces from one hundred dogs. Samples came from clinics and kennels in northern Italy.
Fourteen dogs carried resistant E. coli strains. The bacteria resisted several important antibiotic classes. Gene tests confirmed the resistance mechanisms involved. One dog carried a strain resisting last-resort drugs. Risk factor analysis looked for patterns in the dogs' histories. Monitoring pets matters for the wider resistance problem.
