Antimicrobial resistance and genotyping of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the ear canals of dogs in Japan.

ABSTRACT: The strong bond between dogs and their owners creates a close association that could result in the transfer of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from canines to humans, potentially leading to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common causative agent of persistent ear infections in dogs, is often resistant to multiple antibiotics. Assessing the antimicrobial resistance profile and genotype of P. aeruginosa is crucial for the appropriate use of veterinary pharmaceuticals. However, in recent years, few studies have been conducted on this bacterium in Japan. We determined the antimicrobial resistance profile and genotype of P. aeruginosa isolated from the ear canal of dogs in Japan in 2020. Analysis of antimicrobial resistance using disk di
