Urinary Tract Infections in Dogs and Cats

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a very common health problem in dogs and cats, treated with antimicrobial drugs. As the antimicrobial resistance problem increases, clinicians should be more aware of how to treat patients with antibiotics. This article aims to highlight the importance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing before antimicrobial treatment and remind clinicians to follow updated guidelines of the International Soci-ety for Companion Animal Infection Diseases (ISCAID) recommendations (2019) and to monitor their local antimicrobial resistance situation. The short review includes sporadic bacterial cystitis, recurrent bacterial cystitis, pyelonephritis, and subclinical bacteriuria (Weese et al., 2019).
