Biochemical phenotypes of Escherichia coli in dogs: comparison of isolates isolated from bitches suffering from pyometra and urinary tract infection with isolates from faeces of healthy dogs.

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli from dogs suffering from pyometra and/or urinary tract infection (UTI) were compared with faecal E. coli. We studied 79 isolates from pyometra, 96 from UTI, 91 from faeces of healthy dogs and 60 from faeces of bitches with pyometra. The isolates included 16 bitches with pyometra where E. coli were isolated from both the uterus and the urinary tracts. All isolates were typed with the aid of an...
