Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common occurrence in cats and dogs. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance trends helps in the prudent selection of suitable antimicrobial agents. However, there are limited available data on this matter in Italy. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the trends of antimicrobial resistance in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) isolated from cats and dogs over ten years (January 2014 to October 2023). Three hundred thirty-nine UPEC strains were isolated from urine samples submitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Torino (Italy). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted for up to 11 classes of antibacterials, categorized into four categories (A, B, C, and D) following the European Medicine Agency guidelines for prudent antimicrobial use in animals. The results reveal a higher resistance towards compounds in categories C and D, while fewer isolates were resistant to antibacterials in categories B and A. Resistance has steadily increased from 2014 to 2019. Starting from 2020, a decline in resistance is evident in all four categories. The reduction is more pronounced for the categories subject to the greatest restrictions under European and national legislation. The change in resistance trend is in line with findings from other European countries and food-production animals in Italy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Simple Summary: Small ruminant lentiviruses are a group of viruses characterized by a high genetic and antigenic variability. In the absence of control measures, they are characterized by high prevalence in goat and sheep farms. In Greece, a country characterized by one of the highest small ruminant populations in Europe, SRLVs are well-known pathogens, but so far, few studies have investigated the circulating viral strains and their prevalence in the islands and mainland. The results of this research highlighted the presence of both A and B subtypes as well as the predominance of a novel A viral cluster. In many cases, the combined serological–molecular approach allowed us to identify more than one viral subtype in a single farm. Small ruminant lentiviruses are a group of viruses infecting goat and sheep worldwide. These viruses exhibit an extraordinary degree of genetic and antigenic variability that severely influence in vivo and in vitro features, as well as diagnostic test results. Small ruminant farming is the most important animal farming business in Greece, with a high impact on the Greek primary economy. Although SRLV infection and its impact on animal production are well established in the country, little is known about the circulating SRLV strains and their prevalence. The aim of this study was to characterize SRLVs circulating in Greece with a combined serological and molecular approach, using the bulk milk matrix collected from 60 farms in different municipalities. This study allowed us to estimate a seroprevalence of around 52% at the herd level. The B1, B2 and A3 subtypes and a novel A viral cluster were identified. Moreover, the amplicon sequencing method allowed us to identify more than one viral subtype in a sample. These results again confirm the high variability of these viruses and highlight the importance of the constant monitoring of viral evolution, in particular in antigens of diagnostic interest.
