a. MSc -Curso de Medicina Veterinária RESUMO -As Infecções do Trato Urinário (ITUs), ocorrem em aproximadamente 14% dos cães, e estão entre as mais comuns indicações de antibioticoterapia. A etiologia é variável, com maior predomínio de bactérias. Realizamos um levantamento sobre a prevalência de uropatógenos em ITUs de uma população canina, atendida no Hospital Veterinário "Dr. Halim Atique", entre janeiro de 2006 e abril de 2012. Foi realizada a análise de prontuário para coleta de dados dos animais. Dos 358 avaliados, em 44,72% as culturas foram positivas ao crescimento de microrganismos. Quanto ao isolamento, a frequência de Escherichia coli foi de 37,64%; Staphylococcus spp. de 19,66%, entre outros. O maior isolamento bacteriano foi descrito na faixa etária acima de 84 meses, sendo a mais prevalente entre machos (n=37) e fêmeas (n=50). Essa faixa etária também foi estatisticamente significante tanto para a presença de infecção urinária em animais Sem Raça Definida (p=0,009). Houve uma maior resistência da Escherichia coli para Clindamicina (100%); Staphylococcus spp a Ampicilina (82,14%). Os resultados obtidos apontam para a importância do diagnóstico laboratorial com definição do agente etiológico, e assim para realização de melhores condutas terapêuticas.

ITUs have variable etiology, with a higher prevalence of bacteria. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of uropathogens in ITUs in a canine population, assisted at the Veterinary Hospital "Dr. Halim Atique", between January 2006 and April 2012. The analysis was performed based on paper and electronic records, such as gender, age and race of affected animals. Later, a test for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents and description of etiologic agents was performed. Of the 358 evaluated (44.72 %) cultures were positive for the growth of microorganisms. In relation to the insulation, the frequency of Escherichia coli was 37.64 %; Staphylococcus spp. of 19.66 % among others. The largest bacterial isolation was described in the age group above 84 months, being the most prevalent among males (n= 37) and female (n= 50), the age group above 84 months was also statistically significant for both the presence of urinary infection in animals Breed (p=0.009). There was a higher resistance of Escherichia coli to Clindamycin (100 %), Staphylococcus spp to Ampicillin (82.14 %). The results point to the importance of laboratory diagnostic to definition of the etiologic agent, and thus for the realization of better therapeutic approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
