Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance, Virulence Determinants, and Potential Zoonotic Risk in Uropathogenic <em>Escherichia coli </em>Isolated from Companion Animals
2026-02-18
Abstract excerpt
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in companion animals. This study characterized 42 UPEC isolates recovered from dogs and cats at the University of Florida, College of Veterinary Medicine Diagnostic Laboratories between 2023 and 2024, focusing on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), virulence gene profiles, biofilm-forming ability, and phylogroup distribution of...
