Antimicrobial resistance profiles of Staphylococcus spp. and Escherichia coli isolated from dogs and cats in Seoul, South Korea during 2021-2023.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates and profiles of Staphylococcus spp. and Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolated from dogs and cats in Seoul, South Korea during 2021-2023. We analyzed AMR profiles of Staphylococcus spp. and E. coli isolated from 2,180 samples (1,859 canine and 321 feline) collected from 36 veterinary clinics in Seoul, South Korea, as part of the Korean Veterinary Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (2021-2023). A total of 484 Staphylococcus spp. isolates and 158 E. coli isolates were identified and used for AMR test. Staphylococcus spp. isolates exhibited the highest resistance to penicillin in both dogs (85%) and cats (29.81%). Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Staphylococcus spp. was more prevalent in dogs (65%) than in cats (14.42%), with three S. pseu
