Therefore, veterinarians expected have knowledge good practice exotic medicine. This survey was performed among small practitioners with aim identifying their self-evaluation competency about medicine Istanbul. As data collection tool,...

Haemophilus bacteria are normally present in the upper respiratory tract of healthy individuals. However, these could be opportunistic pathogens especially children. The study was conducted to determine beta-lactamase activity from throat cultures children with infections. 154 strains were isolated swabs 208 whom had Among isolated, 117 H. influenzae (76%), 35 parainfluenzae (22.7%), and two aphrophilus (13%) identified by API NH. beta-Lactamase positive 42 isolates isolates, while it...

Marbofloxacin is one of the fluoroquinolones developed exclusively for veterinary medicine. The primary aim present study to identify and assess evidence marbofloxacin’s clinical efficacy in treatment urinary tract infections small animal practice. included 118 dogs 123 cats that were referred Internal Medicine Department with lower symptoms. We excluded animals had received antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory therapy previous 15 days. Diagnosis was confirmed by findings, urinalysis, imaging....

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from meat faecal samples chicken. Faecal (n: 384) were collected broiler egg-type healthy chickens in 43 flocks 384 fresh chicken local markets, supermarkets slaughterhouses. E. isolates tested phenotypically according guidelines CLSI (2013) for ESBL production. Phenotypic detection production carried out by determination resistance cefoxitin...
