Overview

Randomized trial investigates antifungal resistance and mycotoxins in dog foods, suggesting quality concerns.

Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate antifungal resistance and mycotoxin contamination in commercial dog foods.
  • Eighteen brands of dog food samples were collected from Ibadan, Nigeria.
  • Isolation and identification of Aspergillus species were performed using microbiological methods.
  • Antifungal susceptibility testing was conducted using disc diffusion on 14 isolates. GC-MS analysis screened 10 foods for mycotoxins.
  • 16 (88.9%) samples tested positive for Aspergillus species.
  • All samples of imported crunchies, noodles, and mash types were positive for Aspergillus.
  • 100% resistance was observed against Flucytosine and Fluconazole, with 85.7% multiple drug resistance recorded.
