“…Direct contact with dogs is a common exposure among the human population, and previous work indicates that zoonotic transmission of C. jejuni can occur through contact with the faeces of infected dogs (Damborg et al, ; Mughini Gras et al, ). Campylobacter isolates from the 2016 to 2018 outbreak traced to contact with pet store puppies were resistant to azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, erythromycin, nalidixic acid, telithromycin, and tetracycline; resistance to gentamicin and florfenicol was also evident in some isolates (Montgomery et al, ). In the United States, the incidence of human campylobacteriosis, as well as the number of Campylobacter outbreaks, has increased over the period since 2004 (Geissler et al, ).…”

“…Exposure to dogs is a potential risk factor for Campylobacter infections (Damborg, Olsen, Moller Nielsen, & Guardabassi, ; Mughini Gras et al, ). A recent multistate outbreak of multidrug‐resistant Campylobacter , with dates of illness ranging from January 2016 to February 2018, was traced to contact with pet store puppies (Montgomery et al, ).…”

“…infections to humans. 83 Additionally, humans with MRSA infections should consider having their pets examined as potential MRSA reservoirs. 84 Even though MRSA is not adapted to dogs, cats, and other animals, these animals can become colonized with MRSA and then serve as vectors for spread to humans in the same household.…”

“…The small number of puppies in each litter and the limited number of litters with colonized and non-colonized puppies precluded us from establishing whether the effect was statistically significant, but microbial community signatures that were consistent with what has been observed in people suggest that the microbiome has a role to play in colonization resistance. The protective role of the gut microbiome is particularly important when considering the fact that many puppies sold in pet stores (up to 95%) receive prophylactic antibiotics prior to shipping, as was recognized in a recent outbreak of Campylobacteriosis associated with puppies in pet stores (55). This could result in gastrointestinal dysbiosis and a resultant predisposition to harboring pathogens such as C. difficile .…”
