Antimicrobials in dog‐to‐dog bite wounds: A retrospective study of 1526 dog bite events (1999‐2019)

Abstract: Background Although dog‐to‐dog bite wounds (DBW) are common, few studies worldwide have evaluated antimicrobial usage patterns or appropriateness of use. Objectives Report frequency and results of DBW cultures, including antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Determine the most commonly prescribed antimicrobials and their appropriateness for the treatment of DBW, and if antimicrobial importance is associated with wound severity, clinic type or year. Animals One thousand five hundred twenty‐six dog bite events … Show more

“…Currently, the treatment of injury and surgical site wounds in veterinary medicine involves the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics [ 4 ]. Apart from increasing the costs of therapy and risk of adverse effects, the prolonged and unnecessary or inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents contributes to promoting antimicrobial resistance in bacteria [ 4 ].…”

“…Currently, the treatment of injury and surgical site wounds in veterinary medicine involves the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics [ 4 ]. Apart from increasing the costs of therapy and risk of adverse effects, the prolonged and unnecessary or inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents contributes to promoting antimicrobial resistance in bacteria [ 4 ]. Among the main animal pathogens that contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistance and, at the same time, pose a threat to humans (e.g., pet owners) are Campylobacter , Salmonella , Enterococcus , Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli [ 5 , 6 ].…”
