“…5 These findings are in general agreement with previous reports from France, Canada and New Zealand. [6][7][8] The type of growth observed on culture plates is an important consideration for diagnostic laboratory personnel in deciding whether to proceed to antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates. However, it may be difficult to interpret the clinical significance of isolates when present in mixed growth of two or more organisms or if the growth of the isolate is pure but scant.…”

“…isolates were only available from one Canadian and one British study. The Canadian study (Awosile et al, 2018) reported resistance in only 10 P. caballi isolates of mixed origin, hence interpretation from this small data set is near impossible. The British study (Fonseca et al, 2020) included 70 Pasteurella isolates from respiratory infections and reported moderate to low levels of resistance to most drugs, especially tetracyclines (Figure 16).…”

“…Fairly high mean proportions of resistant isolates were also observed for tetracyclines, but for this drug class there was a large difference between the two S. equi subspecies. This was particularly noticeable in two studies reporting only 2.8 and 0.9% tetracycline resistance in S. equi, whereas the same studies reported 47.5 and 29.3% resistance in S. zooepidemicus (Erol et al, 2012;Awosile et al, 2018).…”

In this opinion, the antimicrobial-resistant bacteria responsible for transmissible diseases that constitute a threat to the health of horses have been assessed. The assessment has been performed following a methodology composed of information collected via an extensive literature review and expert judgement. Details on the methodology used for this assessment are explained in a separate opinion. A global state of play of antimicrobial-resistant Actinobacillus equuli, Dermatophilus congolensis, Enterococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pasteurella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Rhodococcus equi, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae/equisimilis and Streptococcus equi subsp. equi and subsp. zooepidemicus has been provided. Among those bacteria, EFSA identified E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and R. equi with more than 66% certainty as the most relevant antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in the EU, given their importance as causative agents of clinical disease in horses and the significant levels of resistance to clinically relevant antimicrobials. The animal health impact of these 'most relevant' bacteria as well as their eligibility of being listed and categorised within the animal health law framework will be assessed in separate scientific opinions.

“…1,16 Matching by year was performed to account for any changes in antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and bacterial populations over the study period. 17 Cultures were excluded from analysis if they did not meet the definition for significant growth defined for the Enterococcus species cases. For every aerobic urine culture positive for enterococcal growth, 1–2 (depending on case availability) aerobic urine cultures positive for any other bacterial species were selected as controls.…”

Objectives The clinical differences between Enterococcus species bacteriuria compared with other bacteria has been reported in a small number of cats. The objective of this study was to compare a large number of cats with Enterococcus species bacteriuria to cats with other bacteriuria and determine the clinical differences. It was hypothesized that enterococcal bacteriuria would be associated with subclinical bacteriuria and polymicrobial infections more than other bacteriuria, and that when local or systemic comorbidities were present, enterococcal bacteriuria would be more common. Methods This retrospective case-control study compared case cats with enterococcal bacteriuria to control cats with other bacteriuria. Cats with enterococcal bacteriuria were age, year and weight matched with 1–2 control cats with any other bacteriuria. Results Lower urinary tract clinical signs were statistically significantly more common in controls (n = 38/77 [49%]) compared with Enterococcus cases (n = 12/47 [25%]; P = 0.01). Specifically, control cats (n = 20/77 [26%]) were statistically significantly more likely to have gross hematuria compared with Enterococcus case cats (n = 3/47 [6%]; P = 0.01). Enterococcus cases were statistically significantly more likely to have a polymicrobial infection compared with controls (odds ratio 5.84, 95% confidence interval 1.33–34.70; P = 0.01). Conclusions and relevance Enterococcus species are associated with subclinical bacteriuria and polymicrobial urinary tract infections in cats vs other bacteriuria.
