Abstract / Zusammenfassung

Objective:
Both colonized and infected small animals play an important role in the spreading of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in clinical settings, the general population and the environment. Evidence-based Antibiotic Stewardship (ABS) programs accompanied by directed hygiene measures
represent a main strategy to reduce the overall MDR burden in veterinary clinics. To aid the reduction and improvement of antibiotic usage in treatment of pyoderma in dogs and cats and to develop recommendations for empirical antimicrobial treatment, we screened clinical specimens for relevant
bacterial pathogens and performed phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST).

Material and Methods:
603 clinical samples of dogs (n=513) and cats (n=90) suffering from clinical surface, superficial, or deep pyoderma were microbiologically investigated including AST.

Results:
Among canine samples, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (n=338), Streptococcus canis (n=88), and Enterococcus faecalis (n=79) predominated, while S. aureus (n=34), S. felis (n=33) and S. pseudintermedius (n=10) dominated in specimen obtained from cats. Methicillin resistance was detected in 11% of canine and 9% of feline S. pseudintermedius as well as in 8% of feline S. aureus.

Conclusions:
Differences in the pathogen spectra in canine and feline pyoderma should be considered for ABS programs. Results of AST underline the need of local therapeutic recommendations for reasonable empirical antibiotic treatment.
